Being one of those people who shout about of Best of British as often as possible, it’s no surprise that I’m passionate about a brand who cleverly reference the history of British culture, especially when this crosses the boundaries of music and fashion.
One brand who continue to ignite the fire of 60’s and 70’s fashion are Gabicci, who dose their product for SS13 with just a little mod and a clean use of texture, print and colour. My go to piece form this collection would be the pale blue knitted number, which will no doubt come in handy for the unpredictable London weather.
I love this video that they’ve created for the season, which evokes the youth of today, but clearly echos the generations past.

YSC In His Shoes - Day 1 and 2 of Mr A.Gower
Foodie and all round fashion lover Alex Gower is the next subject for my feature In His Shoes…I was very excited to delve deeper into his wardrobe, because boy does he shop!
Fighting crimes against fashion as a visual merchandiser by day, for a rather well known chain of luxury fashion boutiques, Alex knows his way around a mannequin and better still can merchandise the hell out of a womenswear look.
In following his Instagram (@gowerpower1) and Twitter of the same name, one can’t help but see his fierce loyalty to best of British menswear brands, one also can’t help but be jealous of his wardrobe, here we get a 7 day peak into his shoe (and trouser) choices…
Day 1 / COS Chelsea Boots
Q: What do you choose first when getting dressed, shoes or clothes?
A: Usually clothes, starting from top and working down. However on certain days they’ll be a pair of shoes i’ll want to wear so will work my outfit around them.
Day 2 / Trickers x Margaret Howell Boots
Q: Which shoe brand do you favour the most?
A: Would have to be Nike. I’m a little obsessed with trainers and tend to buy at least one pair each month. I really love the way that there’s so many different styles and that the brand is constantly evolving and collaborating with brands such as Undercover.
Enjoy the journey of walking in another mans shoes…

As always the devil is in the detail and this timepiece is a great example of keeping it simple whilst still being striking…Tan leather, silver or chrome hardware and a clean face, what more could you ask for!
