Hosting their AW15 presentation at St James’ Christies, Gieves & Hawkes staked their claim on topping off LC:M day three with a touch of class with a capital C. Being Savile Row’s number one occupant the tailors served up their signature London ensemble, fit for a gent just as dandy as the next.
For the upcoming winter months, the modern man may consider authoritative silhouettes cut with clean lines in cashmere and double-faced wool, double-breasted then trimmed with silken mink and astrakhan that make the most unmistakable of impacts in dark musky tones that have twilight in the city written all over them. Transition wise, the brand, as ever just as concerned with casting a contemporary character, also offered up pony skin biker jackets for a restrained yet animalistic appeal that, along with brogues and bags of croc, grounded AW15 in the greatest contemporary styles.
Gieves, christening their latest collecton Progression, prove their LC:M worth effortlessly, reeling in the likes of David Gandy and other menswear fixtures, because anyone who is in the know knows that when you arrive at Savile Row, one of the first and only places to head for the most urbane three piece is No 1.
