Crombie is the man's brand for men who are not concerned about their masculinity.

Man is the subject, yes. But not the issue.

The signatures are there:

Settle yourself in a leather couch at the soho Hotel cocktail bar.

Order a dry martini for your partner and volvic for yourself.

Now relaxing into your Crombie Classic.

Finely-woven wool is both comfortable and cool. You will an overcoat for the summer rains;
Crombie can give you the shelter you need.

When you unfurl, your Crombie suit, you will feel cool and fresh as the spring rain.

The new range of the suits are loose-fitting, yet smart. They employ the best tailors, but can adjust the forms to your shape.

They are responsibly sourced.

Perhaps the texture will be silk, linen, or alpaca. But for the moment, quality wool blends still construct the best mans' suits.

Structure,elegance, and classicism came together in a near-perfect match.

Consider Crombie.

Miss America 2011 (Teresa Scanlan)


The piano performance was the least part of it... Miss America 2011 was in London and I was invited to meet her at the grand Marylebone Hotel and talk about, fashion, being a brand Ambassador for a major fashion designer - Joseph Ribkoff, her reign as Miss America and the next chapter in her life...


Miss America 2011, was tiared in Las Vegas on january 15th and according to her, it was the best thing to ever happened to her and now it looks like she the best thing to come out of Nebraska since the Missouri river.

Teresa Scanlan is the name Miss America 2011 and now Teresa starts off her journey of 20,000 miles, gracing every quarter of the nation during her of service as America's beauty ambassador.


There are so much more. Teresa will be promoting her message about eating disorders, ( A Generation At Risk), and she will be a national promoter of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization that improves children's lives by  giving them the  care they need, at the right time.


Glamour is there too. Teresa will be the voice of Joseph Ribkoff International Clothing company, who will provide Teresa with her full wardrobe for the year.  Being a spokesperson for the brand, Teresa had the opportunity to talk through the Joseph Ribkoff A/W11 collection. 
Model wearing Joseph Ribkoff A/W11


The collection is youthful and very flattering to the female figure. The inspiration behind the Joseph Ribkoff's A/W11 collection, is all about the busy working woman who travels a lot and is always on the go. The material combination of silk and jersey eliminates the use of ironing or steaming.


Joseph Ribkoff breathes versatility into A/W11  in such a  way that most of the pieces could be worn for any occasion- for work to an evening event,or better still a night out with your girlfriend.


Joseph Ribkoff clothing is stocked at the famous and renowned store Fenwick and Ribina on new bond street.


After  her year of services, Teresa will continue her education at Patrick Henry college. She wishes to move into law, with the ambition to become a judge, and then into politics. She has been sponsored by Artistry and Amway and will no doubt go far.


President Scanlan, anyone?


Pleasure!

MY FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE BOND CLUB

14TH JULY 2011




It always creates a special touch to be invited to a private Club. So, when the invitation came up for me to be invited to the BOND CLUB on Kingly street I was looking forward to it. I can tell you.


There are so many new clubs in london now, and frankly, I have been to a fair few of them and it was an eye-opener for me... in a way that was not good...
- repetitive music that wears you down
- alcohol splashed on your cherished clothes by drunken species who cannot handle it
- worse still. fights breaking out with broken bottles, shouting and so on


However, I was hoping the above-mentioned repulsive attitude would not be in evidence at the much talk about BOND club. I could not have been happier when I was told that the club had a zero-attitude policy. Any hint of attitude, and you would be politely escorted off the premises.


So knowing all that, I was looking forward to PARTYING in style, and making sure it was going to be a night to remember. 


As I entered, I could not help but notice the full length mirrors on both sides of the corridor leading into the main club. It's like the mirrors are there to say to you... 'Madam and Sir,  check yourself from head to toe, see if everything is in the right place and then you can walk in.'


Clubbing at the BOND was such a delight. Everyone there was having a good time - I could see - and they were soaking in the groovy tunes that was blasting in the four corners of the room. Every track hit the spot, and the movers responded. Dancing has always been my forte, but this atmosphere just made me want to pose and relax. Posing on the dance floor is going to be the next big thing, so watch this space


The ladies fashion of the night is worth noting, because if you are venturing out into a club, the outfit has  to be cool, hot, and on the spot. Boy oh boy!! The figure hugging micro mini dress teamed with pencil heels were on display - 'work it girl!' A few of the ladies opted for the skinny jeans, tops and platform heels look - 'rock it girl!' It was a diverse fashion crowd on the ladies side.


On the mens' side, I was pleased with the effort they committed to their outfit. The mens' fashion crowd was certainly diverse as well. Smart causal, fitted blazers, causal suits were the order of the night. Some stood out more than others, of course having me in the club crowd was bond to happen; Mr Kwaku Darkwah gets my vote for the BEST-DRESSED man of the night -clean cut, straight to the point and fierce.


To sum up my night at the BOND club-It was a pleasure. Great fun, funky sounds, very attentive and polite bar staff who always had a smile on their face. Good work! One does not often encounter these qualities in good clubs these days.


Would I go back to the BOND club again? The answer is certainly - 'YES'.


Pleasure!

THE LAUNCH OF BOB CARLOS CLARKE T-SHIRT


The night of BOB CARLOS CLARKE the lengendary photographer whose never before seen pictures was exhibited in 202 Westbourne Groove. The same photos by Bob Carlos Clarke had been used to create a limited edition T-shirt produced by the premium organic clothing company.


The evening was a collaboration between Tamara Beckwith, Lindsey Carlos Clarke and Ghislain Pascal of The Little Black Gallery, and Bryan Jandrell of Collective, who produced the T-shirts.


It is the first time that the images by Bob Carlos Clarke have been licensed for T-shirt that would be stocked in Harvry Nichols, 202 on Westbourne Groove,The library, Autograph.


Amber Lonergan PR for Clear Angency and me
Now to talk about the launch, I have to say it was a very successful one. Times like this I just want go around and talk everyone but before I did that, I had to hit the bar and own myself a glass of champagne. Well it has to be said the champagne was the best of best. Very crisp and dry.


It was good to admire the mounted photograph on all the shop floor along with the T-shirts. 


GUEST
Bob Carlos Clarke art work was displayed on the walls of 202. They are strong images of art. Dominitrix springs to mind when look at the photos. A bit of nudity, latex and dark makeup. The photograph is a just a fine piece of work. Bob is a legend as it has to be said.

BURBERRY BRIT PARTY

5 JULY 2011.

Burberry Brit night was a blast! It was a night event that took place on 41-42 king street in Covent Garden. That is where one of the many Burberry flagship store can be found. The store is immaculate in design and spacious just to mention.


The best part of the night  is was when the band named Heartbreak took to the stage to sing live some of their tunes. I am a fan of live music and I have to hand to it the band, they really did good. It is worth googling them because i know they have something good going on. They can perform.


The invited guest were treated to some chilled alcoholic beverages, such as champagne, beer, cocktails just to name but a few. This however set the mood going as every chatted away. I am not saying we needed to be drunk to be in a happy mood certainly not me. All the same it was all good.


There was no way one could not have missed the Burberry S/S11 collection that was on the store floor. With the diverse spring summer collection from the light summer trench coat to the leather motor cycle jacket. 


Burberry this S\S is really adhering to the Rock & Roll and the rock chic look. And  what makes it so trend is the motor cycle leather jacket, which can be teamed up with any outfit just to give it an edge. Sometimes I think we all need to be edgy with our dress sense.


It's worth mentioning that, I met these three charming gentlemen from France who I have to say had so much to say about their love for the Burberry brand which I really found very alluring and quite interesting. They obviously know their fashion and it's good to know. It was a pleasure meeting them.


I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and event like this is always an eye opener to get brand ( burberry) out there and more importantly to support a British brand. And the concept of infusing a Brit live band brings in some authenticity. Which is very important.


Burberry Brit is a global brand loved by many and has a very strong high profile following. 


On this note I have to say that the Burberry Brit night was success and it was truly enjoyed. Pleasure!

HOHN VARVATOS CAMPAIGN STARING THE ROOTS.

John Varvatos


ARRIVING IN STYLE


THE ROOTS star in Fall 2011 Campaign.
Click the link below to watch the smashing campaign. Pleasure!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9yC50d4s7A


July 2011 — New York, NY — For his latest ad campaign, John Varvatos has chosen four-time-Grammy-winning group The Roots, currently the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Photographer Danny Clinch shot the band at Republic Airport in New York, capturing them as they de-plane like true rock royalty, making the most of their moment of grand arrival.





The Roots are as fluid and amorphous as the hip-hop culture that they spawned. The influential and critically acclaimed Philadelphia-based septet has won numerous accolades for their jazz-influenced, eclectic approach to hip-hop. Their fans are as diverse as their music, following the band from Lollapalooza to the Montreux Jazz Festival and Lincoln Center. Defying easy description, The Roots collaborate with a wide range of artists from different genres, and continue to push the boundaries of hip-hop—as in a recent performance of Bob Dylan’s 1963 classic “Masters of War” before a sold-out crowd of hip-hop lovers at Harlem’s Apollo Theatre.





The Roots are one of the most creative musical forces on the planet.  Their performances with almost every music icon in the world, of all genres, are mind blowing and inspiring.  Working with them has been a highlight in my career,” states John Varvatos.


 Stephen Niedzweicki, creative director of Yard, drew inspiration for the campaign from classic images of bands on the road. “The way The Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles traveled had a huge impact on the direction for this season’s campaign. Even the design of the tour buses and the way the planes looked back then was mind-blowing—fireplaces, bars, dance floors and full-on performance stages. What style!”


During the shoot, The Roots launched into an improv jam on the tarmac that was captured on video. Danny Clinch and Yard created a short film from the performance that captures the energy of the moment.



This latest John Varvatos campaign follows 14 seasons conceived by Yard and photographed by Danny Clinch, all of them underscoring the brand’s affinity for rock ‘n’ roll style-makers. Past collaborators include Franz Ferdinand, Perry Farrell, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, Velvet Revolver, Iggy Pop, Chris Cornell, Joe Perry, Ryan Adams, Slash, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.


 Danny Clinch is an acclaimed music photographer and documentary filmmaker who has captured some of the most iconic names in music, including Cash, Springsteen, Dylan and Tupac, just to name a few. The organic feel and texture of his work lets the subjects breathe and the music flow. His work has appeared in such publications as Vanity Fair, Spin, Rolling Stone, GQ, Esquire, the New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine, and his photographs have appeared on hundreds of album covers.


 Since its founding in 2002, Yard has conceptualized; art directed and produced an award-winning range of work in print and television advertising, packaging, editorial, and product design. This hybrid creative agency blends the expertise of a style-driven fashion shop with the instincts of a consumer-minded ad agency.


 Launched in 2000 with a collection of tailored clothing and sportswear, John Varvatos now represents an entire men’s lifestyle that includes footwear, bags, belts, eyewear, limited edition watches, men’s luxury fragrances, as well as the younger, edgier John Varvatos « USA Collection and Converse by John Varvatos.  The designer has been recognized three times by the CFDA with an American Fashion Award for New Menswear Designer (June 2000) and Menswear Designer of the Year (June 2001 and June 2005) and was honored as GQ’s “Designer of the Year” in 2007.  The collection is distributed in freestanding John Varvatos boutiques across the US, as well as in better specialty stores throughout
