A Closer Look- James Long AW10

This past week, 7thMan visited the LONDON show ROOMS in New York!! The British Fashion Council's international design initiative to bring London's leading emerging fashion talents across the pond, to increase their presence and develop their businesses internationally.

One who came along for the ride was of course James Long, a designer who brought innovation in every piece. Nothing but special to get a closer look, to see all the details or even better to have on! The knits were a big hit from the beginning, cozy and edgy. A print that made a statement, and jackets that carried rabbit-hair to velvet. Fantastic gloves one did not notice before, along with other accessories that made the collection complete.

Images speak for themselves.

A Closer Look-Tim Soar AW 10

A collection that truly embodies "Simplicity at its best," as we both agreed. Tim Soar explained that his focus was on the details, and how he could make them traditional.

7thMan says he has succeeded in his mission for the coming fall. With a motorcycle jacket made of cord, cropped tops with leather trims, that can be pared with classic trousers. Soar brought the victorian silhouette back that can be seen through the blazers, with slimmer sides and darts exposed for quality. A camel over-coat stood out simple, but perfect for the trend of the year...
