EUPHORIK AUTUMN WINTER 2012 - FORWARD PR PRESS DAY.

Alexander Leimbach - Creator & Managing Director Of EUPHORIK

Stylish, clean cut, simple and effective are words that can be best used to describe this new men's AW12 collection - EUPHORIK

Chasebondstyle had the opportunity to view the first ever collection at FORWARD PR AW12 press day at the academy building of AOFM on Dean Street. And also, it was a pleasure to hear Forward Pr had on board a men's brand.

The fabric - finest wool and silk- used for the collection are made in England said Alexander Leimbach - Managing Director for EUPHORIK

The clean shilloutte of the designs are achieved by a the simplicity of the cut hence the fluidity of style. EUPHORIK has the finest cut blazer, which is relaxed. The waist coat is another piece that defines the masculinity of a man. There is a verstility when it comes to the waist coat. One can envisage the female being adding that to their wardrobe.

Another interesting piece is the trousers which can best be described as EUPHORIC drop crotch. It has this fluidity in texture making it very comfortable to wear. My adorance for this piece is the fact that, it does not conform to the stero-typical man's trousers which we all know.

Other pieces infused in the collection are the rocking slimmed line tops with over size hood. that can be worn in different ways one chooses.

Edge, style innovation and fun is assured with EUPHORIK AW12.

Purchases can be made online at www.euphoriklondon.com

POP PR AUTUMN WINTER 2012 PRESS DAY - 5TH APRIL 2012 AT THE FUTURE GALLERY, LEICESTER SQUARE.

One of the fastest growing fashion PR companies with a repertoire accounts to date and by that I am referring to POP PR. There was no reason not to go and view the array of designs that was on display once I received my invitation.

Press days are the only time one has an up and close personal relationship with the designd pieces that were shown on the runway during fashion week.

Now,here are some images I snapped of the various designers and their AW12 collection.

It was a delightful and fulfilling POP PR press day and can not wait to pull some of these pieces for my upcoming editorial shoot.

My appreciations goes to the hard working team of POP PR. for their quench thirsting drinks (Rekorderlig cider), the massage and the blow dry by Tony & Guy. Well, my dread locks didn't get the blow dry but rather I was treated to Lab series hair spray. My shine was restored.

End.
