Thom Browne - Exciting, Original, Crazy, everything I loveeeeee in mens design.

Ever since I set eyes on this collection I smiled inside, several nights of dreams intwined with his dramatic print combinations and day time dreaming I knew it was something special. 
My relationship between print and texture always relates back to interiors and here i am faced with print combinations that make me smile from ear to ear. 
Mixtures of scales, drama and traditional interior style fabrics all together and worn with such style; throw in my favourite animal and a few ears for good measure and you are entering the world of the next big creative. 
I await with bated breathe every season for Thome's work, may it be women's or men's. And every time I could never guess what my eyes would be treated to. And let me say I AM NEVER DISAPPOINTED.

Combining all these prints looks dramatic but works a treat.

MENS MENS MENS .......... Colour Pattern and Joy!!

This season mens wear aw14 overwhelmingly blew me away, texture, colour, pattern, layering. I am racing to find fantastic stories to experiment with all this glorious design.
Firstly Dries Von Noten's acid greens, warming pinks and splashes of coloured prints warmed my toes. Interesting silhouettes and bold accessorising with furs and belted coats.
Blossom pinks and tonal purples
graphic paint splodges
Fitted suits with wonderful prints at Issey Mikaye. Totally wonderful to see the talented clothes architect at work with this new collection. Clashing prints, and something for all styles a real triumph. I particular loved this ensemble.
Issey prints in a cooler palate. 
Patchwork, bright colours and rock and roll printed jeans sung from the catwalk for Raf Simons. Booted, suited and full of autumnal shades. 
splodged, greased and uber strong boys walked the catwalk
Artistic overall style coats
Blues sung beautifully along with orange on patchwork coats
arty suiting with contrasting bags
RICK Owens back to his fabric conscious best, dark, strong, large necklines and hard boots.
Utilitarian chic
And wonderful work from Walter Van Beirendock, one of my favourite shows by far. Extravagant and bold. With a political message. There is no better way to get your opinions heard.
Hats, stripes and high belted jackets
Contrasting primary colours
Graphic face paints, tribal and earthy
Tonal and organic
Graphic and inviting 
Graphic t-shirts  
And one of my all time favourites never disappoints Yohji Yammamoto. With painted leathers, models of all ages and mixed layering.
Bold, Blue and organic
Printed, traditional tailoring and super hats
A joyous feast of colour and pattern, may it inspire your interiors, your clothing or just your dreams there is a lot for you boys to be excited about this season!!
