A personal infusion of aesthetic.

A great British designer with a true sense of timeless, English style is often hard to come acros. However Margaret Howell not only proves that British style is still in its prime - she also seamlessly transitions her lines year on year, collection to collection.

After having my personal style compared to her vision of an ever graceful, stylish and just plain gorgeous English gentleman, I was of course feeling good about myself - so decided to do a little segment on her latest campaign, just to air my thoughts on her contemporary pieces.

1976 saw the true birth of the brand as Howell opened her first menswear store in London - followed by a store containing her complete collection in 1980. A true dark horse in the British fashion industry - Howell has seen ups and and downs in the game but always prevails victorious. Her minimalistic style; combining smart tailoring with casual knitwear and essentials was the must have look of the decade, even now men flock to her store in hope of grabbing an identity with the captivating style she so effortlessly churns out.

It has only been recently that the brand has started to adopt more trendy additions to current seasons. Obviously for me this isn't a positive, and as much as I love the brand and the image perceptive of that - I don't see a 70's gentleman walking around in a dock jacket. Hopefully the label doesn't fall into consumer righteousness and stoop to a high street level.

For now let's all appreciate and hope the style will forever remain, as a traditional empathy of the British industry.

Icon Lookback: John Lennon.

Know matter which corner of the globe you reach out to, everywhere, John lennon has, is and will always be known as one of the most prominent fashion and musical legends the world has seen. Many people know him as simply a musician, but he was far from just that. The cultural and sociological impact he had on the world was incontrovertible.

From a fashion perspective, Lennon shaped the way the world's aesthetic was formed around fashion. He made it acceptable to liberate and be yourself  and the world was hugely grateful for that, damn it I am. The one look that people remember from John lennon was of course the tailored velvet blazer! pearling a very small pin on the breast pocket and of course his signature circular aviator sunglasses.

No one can deny that Lennon had a huge impact on us all, and over the last few weeks I've even seen influences starting to creep over the past few months. Let's just hope all the comes back I sank appreciation and not some cheap rip off.
