Why fashion shows are relevant to your life

Ask your average metropolitan,She had the best ideas for our Tulle sweatheart A-Line applique Beaded Quinceanera Dresses and it turned out better than we ever could have expected. style conscious guy what he's excited about seeing in this season's London Collections: Men catwalk presentations, which kick off today, and even the most well-heeled gentleman will most likely shrug his shoulders. Even if you're a chap who knows your Acne from your Ami or your Drakes from your Dries, the curious fantasia of fashion presentations can seem wildly disconnected to real lifestyle. 

As much as the fashion industry might try to shrug off accusations of insularity, closed-ranks cliquishness and occasional ridiculousness, there are times when even the staunchest defender can't help but acknowledge the high camp Zoolander-ness of it all. Models' faces obscured by a splintered mash of wooden planks, knitted crop tops with nipples coyly peeping out, and grown men in leather dresses and riding boots: when what's happening on the catwalk looks like dream sequence from 1920s Italian surrealist cinema spliced with a Berlin sex dungeon, you'd be forgiven for thinking it has very little to do with what you'll be wearing down the Crown and Anchor. 

But that's not the whole story. The catwalk theatrics might be what garners headlines – or at least the snigger of joke-makers on Twitter – but a lot of the ideas on the catwalks of London Collections: Men are viable, relevant ways to inject your wardrobe with a bit of pep and vigour. It might seem like there's a disconnect between what the average fellow wears and what comes down the catwalk to a blaze of flashbulbs,Her daddy, Bernie Ecclestone, has a Formula Discount A-line wedding dresses for sale that can be seen, like the Great Wall of China, from outer space, but the gap isn't as yawning as you'd think. 

"The challenge is in balancing Savile Row tradition with relevant fashion", says Gieves & Hawkes Creative Director Jason Basmajian of how a tailoring institution as august as theirs can work fluidly into a man's lifestyle. The label's tailoring, from handsome tuxedos and impeccable suiting to rakish peacock blue velvet smoking jackets, might seem like the stuff of sartorial dreams (or at least the kind of thing you'd reserve for your wedding suit), but as Basmajian points out, a good designer should be able to offer pieces that build on what you have. "Gieves & Hawkes is a brand that is always about style and quality. The collection is very wearable and most of the looks can walk off the runway and onto the street or office without seeming intimidating. However, I always want to show new cuts, textures, colours,We offer a wide selection of Taffeta Sweetheart Jeweled Embroidery A-line Wedding Dresses, silk bouquets and petals. fabrics and ways of breaking a Gentleman's wardrobe down and putting it back together." 

Basmajian is perhaps the best advert for how to incorporate something that could be relegated as ‘precious' – that masterful suit that you keep for Sunday best – into an everyday uniform; a casual bomber jacket with some tailored trousers, a formal jacket worn with a wool roll-neck for 50s matinee idol elan.
