When the night falls, I will be the only one standing in the room.
That was the theme of the night. Capture the moment, I say! Pleasure!

Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2011
The man of the moment Roberto Cavalli has done it again with Spring/Summer 2011 collection and what we as men need to wear this season.
The silk trousers came in intricate prints and it is left to flow freely and comfortable in the early evening breeze.
A few pieces of his Spring/ Summer 11 collection has a more modest approach. most notably a gracious suede jacket with Nehru collars. But it is of course the sartorial hedonism that we love Roberto Cavalli.
You can never go wrong with wearing Roberto Cavalli.
THE BIKER JACKET TREND
 |
Often than not as a stylist I always enjoy how some trends never go out of fashion. I came across this 1970s vintage biker jacket and immediately I had to own it. The thing with the biker jacket is, they always have to look and play the part.
Biker jacket trend is always going strong every season... from Burberry, Balmain to Todd Lynn to name a few. The biker jacket has transcended into fruition every season. It is always easy to play around with it either dressing it up or down. One can always go crazy with this trend. It has no boundaries.

Travel In Style With Zanacco Holdall
Travel in Style is something I often talk about and like to do. There is nothing so shabby to be seen fumbling and jiggling with bags. That is not a good look and one should deter from that.
The Zanacco eco - leather holdall bag beats the rest. It's a very manageable and easy to carry. I call it the all purpose bag. It's tough, stylish, versatile and definitely stands out. The creator had traveling in style in mind for sure. Go!

BRAIN CLARKE SPRING/ SUMMER 2011
I came across this outstanding Men's brand - BRIAN CLARKE, the man behind the brand- on my press day in the Savoy Hotel and immediately I was drawn to it.
Brian Clarke the designer as I was told by lizparry.co.uk has a compelling imagination and for his Spring / Summer 2011 he takes the 'repressed gentleman' as his muse. He also takes his influence for this current season from the old Etonian mentality and the dying breed of gentlemen.
English heritage is a big plus throughout his Spring / Summer 11 right to the core. There is also a tougher undercurrent that threatens to undercut the collections' tranquility.
Also in this SS11 collection is a bib-fronted pinstripe shirts with matching dickie-bows are toughened up by diagonal zipped nappa leather jacket in black or deep plum, plaid shirts are paired with cropped-below-the-knee suit trousers and twisted brogue ankle boots.
Here are are some of his SS11 collection. I hope he puts up show at London Fashion week. It will be worth seeing.
Brian Clake's collection can also be purchased online @ www.brianclarkemenswear.com
