British designer Spencer Hart has long had a lasting affair with music, so it only seems right that this art form be the inspiration for his Spring/Summer show. {title} Surrounded by the industrial pastings of the Old Selfridges Hotel, Mr Hart delivered a range of sartorially powered looks paying homage to the Latin/Jazz fusion scene in London. With a colour pallet of soft greys and blacks, the emphasis was placed very heavily on the fabric, cut and texture of the garments. Using a lightweight open weave fabric the house displayed a range of single and double breasted suiting – combined with a menswear staple…the white shirt. These sat very closely to lightweight cashmeres and smooth silks creating an exuberance of luxury. This minimalistic offering harnessed the brands power to excel in the most simple of ways. Shirts where given cutaway collars, and blazers had the addition contrasting patches. Within the formalities of the show lay surprise inclusions of Spencer Hart’s loungewear – modeled by famous clients alike – these features were bold but not arrogant; merely demonstrating the wealth of talent designer Nick Hart has at his disposal.

Leopard, snake, zebra, tiger… {title} At this point, we’ve collectively embraced so many animal prints that I’ve been starting to wonder how many more can possibly fit on Noah’s F/W 18 ark. No longer being ushered forth calmly two by two, animal prints are being rushed onto store shelves as quickly as we fashion people are buying them, so it’s no surprise we’ve started seeing a certain less-expected print moseying into the fold. I’m talking, of course, about cow print (and its closely related cousin, dalmatian print). It makes sense, when you really think about it, given fashion’s current fixation on all things Wild West. It’s a bold pattern, to be sure, but the color scheme is neutral (no pink cow prints, at least as far as I’m aware of), meaning it’s an easy one to work into your existing wardrobe without risking being arrested by the style sheriff. Keep reading to see and shop some of my favorite cow-print pieces.
