Highlights of the Graduate Fashion Show

As the summer weather seem to have come to a halt, the mood for summery patterns has also downgraded a bit.  Half the season to go until the autumn collections, hence highstreet retailers pour out their old stock remnants under banners of ostensibly humongous discounts for horrendous rags of clothes.


In order not to succumb to a fashion distraught, please recharge with these highlights from the recent graduate show of UK's fashion students. 


Rather fresh and slick-to-wear apparels will give a food for your thoughts regarding upcoming season.

Men's wear from GFS. More pictures, more ideas.

Unfortunately a number of brilliant pictures from the Graduate Fashion Show had to remain neglected for a good month or so, due to the numerous obstacles and an utter unattainability of getting a proper image gallery plug-in. Hence the carefully selected images are listed in such a humble way, but I am sure many of you will find those interesting to look at and very much inspiring.

Sweetheart devil or seducer the priest

Music rocked the stage and the lights turned crimson filling the room with sensual exhilaration. Even the fellow photo crews  sighed simultaneously, vaguely shifting in their cramped 'nests' (I guess due to another hustle with the change of lighting more than anything else).

Superciliously smirking, boys walked out in impudently perfect  suits in black and grey charcoal colours. The sternness of this collection emphasized the impeccable quality of cut and celebrated a male silhouette.

Ambrosially fitting suits undoubtedly resembled of Russian clergymen cassocks.
Check out this HOT lineup:

Despite of the apparent source of the idea, the application of new add-ons, the exquisite textiles and the sly interpolation of details has a direct reference to current fashion  instantaneously makes the garments to stand out.
Here is an example of typical Russian deacon's cassock:

The rigid elbow-high gloves (is this rubber?) definitely did the trick of titivating the once old-school look, so did the extended

pants artfully escaping into under the mini shorts. Tight.....man.

We nominated the vanquisher of the show the suit with the skirt, knee-high socks and the deacon hat (the first picture in the header); for its emotional voluptuousness, daring provocation and the exquisite quality. The wearability and ingenuity without succumbing into absurd was particularly pleasing.

Remembered that "God is in the details" from Ludwig Miles van der Rohe, but seriously doubting now whether it is God at all....

Dreaming of guys wearing skirts. Any thoughts on this?
