The last few days in London fashion have been dedicated to LC:M, otherwise known as London Collections: Men the menswear fashion shows. This season I’ve sat them out, due to other projects, but illustrator Clym Evernden, a long time contributor to LLG was there. He has sent through these glorious illustrations from the  Hardy Amies SS14 collection Inspiration for the collection began with Saul Bass references unearthed in the Hardy Amies archives.  The designer, famous for his film artwork, created Amies’ fragrance advertising and an ‘HA’ monogram in the late 1950s.  The season’s designs and colour palette are influenced by Bass’ film artwork including ‘The Man With The Golden Arm’ and the opening sequence for Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’.  The latter is directly translated into summer striped fabrics developed exclusively by British mill William Bliss which appear on unstructured summer jackets as well as holdalls and totes by Chapman, the English bag company.  Accessories include shoes made in Northampton, England.  Suede double monks and loafers are by Alfred Sargent and a newly commissioned collection of canvas based formal shoes are made by Grenson.   www.clym.co.uk

For this season's menswear collections we decided to interview a dear friend and colleague of mine, Karl-Edwin Guerre. I'm sure you've seen him all over the blogosphere and in the pages of mags like GQ where he is regularly featured for his distinct signature style. In addition to being inspiringly stylish, he is a true gentleman, a supportive friend and over-all really nice guy. Here are some of the images that we used for our interview which was edited by Sara Moschini. To read the interview in Italian visit Grazia.it, in English on Guerre's blog Guerreisms.

Now that Trent Franks's 20-week abortion ban has passed the House, it stands no chance in the Senate.
