LCM: Oliver Spencer AW14
Part of the final day of London Collections: Men, Oliver Spencer’s autumn/winter 2014 collection featured the designer’s passion of combining modern and classic styles. Charcoal, navy and forest green are the main focus of colors used, along with hints of bright tones such as orange and yellow and the neutrals of tan and black.
The collection is said to have been influenced by “Purism, architecture and London’s ever-evolving subcultures”, and Mr. Spencer’s key pieces include the Shawl Collar Donegal Jacket, Lightweight Nylon Mac, Judo Pants and the Caramel Epsom Coat.

Stylish Women Found At NYFW SS14
Along with capturing men’s street style photography this New York Fashion Week, I captured women’s as well for Latina Magazine, and it would be a crime not to feature the best dressed ladies I came across.
Girls can have a lot of fun with fashion due to the amount of womenswear options available and range of styles choices they can try, hence there being about 100 times more women’s fashion magazine brands in the world than men’s (which is good or bad depending on how much content you want to read and look at).

Hairy Finds: Male Models With Beards At New York Fashion Week SS14
As another New York Fashion Week comes to an end, and as I look through all the men’s runway images and studio presentations, I’ve noticed a large use of bearded models among several designers including Lucio Castro, Michael Bastian and N. Hoolywood (respectively pictured above).
This summer beards made a comeback at Paris shows, and America’s Next Top Model (now featuring men) includes a bearded model, Phil Sullivan. Sullivan (top left) actually modeled for Castro this Fashion Week.
No doubt beards have been in style, well groomed and tamed ones of course, but will we see more bearded gents on the catwalk again in February among their clean, shaven brethren? And do we want them to?
