EASY CHIC


Even though the oversize white T-shirts with an “IN” written on in big capital letters (designed and produced by the artist Wolfgang Tillmans) that many fashion show attendees wore, as also the designer itself urging people to register to vote to remain in the EU, didn´t help, Patrick Grant reconfirmed again something that was never doubtful; he knows how to dress a modern man, making it look very chic even with a pair of his bellowed high-waist short-shorts and a roomy shirt. This 24-look collection in very elegant, Armani-type colours got everything that a man is looking for, those quintessential garments like oversize shirts and tops in crisp cotton or linen, wide jackets in rounded shapes, denim pieces and his well-known high-waist bottoms. The only thing here that maybe tries you, dear men, to dare are those white or black Mary Janes, but they put an extra thumbs up to every look in my opinion.

INFINITIVE SHADES OF GREY


Patrick Grant delivered for winter another great collection of gentleman´s sportswear and supersized chic tailoring. In his collections you can find everything for any occasion; business-job side checked, as well as sporty-casual free time, not to mention the classy evening wear. Everything is super-classy and with that Saville Row proud (legitimate) attitude, but also very fresh and young. You just need to know where to start; is from oversize and enveloping coats, as wool and cashmere trenches, double-breasted coats, parkas, bombers and chesterfield coats? Are the single-pleated roomy pants, as well as roomy shirts or are the heavy knits? From anywhere you choose to start among these infinite shades of grey, it will be a good one.

HOW SHOULD BRITS GO TO THE BEACH


Till now we got one collection inspired by a carpet designer and another one inspired by a travel writer. Patrick Grant was for E.Tautz S/S 2015 menswear collection inspired by the Fifties photography of the British photographer Tony Ray-Jones (precisely by his book “A Day Off”), that shows Englishmen in their leisure. The seaside and the introversion of British were the main base to build the collection; and what a collection! His best one so far. Boxy and relaxing silhouettes, made from stiff cotton, nearly-raw denim and more technical ones, like the “nyloned” silk (to obtain a waterproof effect). High waist pants and shorts, blousy-oversized knits, boxy parkas, tailored suits for this relaxing and sporty-casual-less formal man. Need a cherry on the top? Laburnum-framed sunglasses, made in collaboration with Finlay & Co (iconic British eyewear company) and Louboutin high tops.
