With delicacy and refinement, its a game of classics. A pleat or fold effect cane subtly made out and instills a playful and offbeat elegance. The old codes of menswear are re-invented through a spirit of colour and seductiveness. Deceptively casual elegance that is smart and chic.

Bethanie Elsa Jacob - Montana 94
To what extremes is a subcultures defined? How do we break away from the norms of society and find ourselves within identity. Without knowing it, we are conformed to a subculture, or does the subculture conform to us?

Not everything is as it seems. Soft tailoring contrasted with subtle, unexpected geometric shapes to challange the perception of flattering lines and beauty. Who and what defines elegance?

James Grieg - Solution is simple 0:2
