LEATHER STUDDED KISS

Bravo to Bailey for another great mens outerwear collection.
Absolutely adored all of the leather goods with the embellished studs and spikes.
I want look 41 so bad.
Interesting to see skintight leather biker trousers and the warrior jacket, which is a progression from the women's warrior collection a few seasons ago.
The muted earthy colours were refreshing as I was expecting to see another 42 guys walk down the catwalk in vivid brash costumes like at the Sander show.
The whole colour palette was wearable and very well arranged. The olive greens work really well with the dark grungy lather biker blacks contrasted with the classic coloured overcoat trench looks.
I think this is probably the best SS collection Burberry has designed. Its simply because its current, it had great attitude and direction and I would buy every look.
The casting was great too (Barbara Nicoli), Adrien Sahores is the bomb!! (Feature on Adrien to follow)

JIL MAKES YOUR BRIGHTS BRIGHTER

Jil Sander by Raf Simons SS11.
Last night saw the unveiling of the Spring Summer 2011 collection for Jil Sander.
Held in Florence (for some reason) not Milan, it kick started the mens season into procession.
Punchy, bold, electric colours were send down a formal Italian country garden inspired catwalk.
Beautiful minimal cut blazers with a layered scallop effect along the front bottom panel were like candy to my eyes.
My favourite pieces were the subtle floral accents that were thrown in to soften and contrast the dazzling invasion.
Overall it worked well and I enjoyed it. Not my favourite Sander collection but a great start to Milan and Paris.
