It's in the bag: 7 men's Black bags for A/W


"It's in the bag": 7 Black bags for A/W
Menswear has moved on considerable with the perseverance of breaking gender stereotypes and the birth of 'Metrosexuality'.

Man isn't plagued with compelling himself to be associated with a briefcase. He is now entitled to explore his individuality with his choice in clothing but mainly accessories. From briefcase to rucksack and in later years the 'Man-bag' to the 'Man Clutch' (By which I mean document case). Man is openly allowed to express the freedom of metrosexuality through his essential choices.

Black Leather is the key piece for menswear accessories this A/W, here's my favourite picks from the designer collections:

1. Versace Backpack
Black and gold work perfectly to create this chunky wonder.
Even with its details, fastening and a Medusa pendant this stocky bag
is masculine built.


2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Backpack
Basic, nothing more; Nothing less.


3. Neil Barrett Quilted Backpack.
Has the presence of a grenade and sure to create a bang.


4. 3.1 Phillip Lim
Second Phillip Lim piece to make the list. Shaped with stylish practicality, this one is the more savvy choice.


5. Burberry Prorsum Tote Bag.
Tote bags, you either love them or you hate them. I'm enjoying this piece from Burberry, picture it teamed with a cropped trouser and a relaxed fit t-shirt.


6. Diesel Backpack.
This bags details of flat studs and silver hardware make great detail for this unstructured bag. Great piece for winter with a heavy duty Parker coat and some chunky boots.


7. Jimmy Choo Document case.
Who said a man can't carry a Jimmy Choo? This crocodile embossed document case probably isn't for the faint hearted but it sure come with some bite.

What's your niché?

What's your niché?

I'm not going to take the time out to apologise for the infrequency of my posts because you've heard it from me numerous times. After graduating from the Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design, I have ventured into the next phase of my career plan - Internships. 

I have started an internship with Storm Model Management, the agency made famous by its infamous hoard of model delights such as Kate (the great) Moss, Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn and Cindy Crawford. Just as famous is the founder of the agency, Sarah Doukas who's eye for scouting talent is both amazing and inspirational. 

My delayed posting is mainly due to change 
- personally, I'm not very good at dealing with it.

 My circumstances have changed and I'm not sat in the protection of college and being surrounded by friends daily, in an area I know like the back of my hand and making that routine commute. I'm now in the real world as a working Chelsea boy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying what I'm doing and learning so much. But from a creative perspective, I'm back on a journey of self discovery and once again in hot pursuit of my 'niche'.

- What is it that make me, me?
