Last
month Hywel Davies's Modern
Menswear book chronicled the rise
of Menswear from obscurity to necessity. Now we get
word that Dover
Street Market is extending their exclusive
allure this spring as the first shop outside Tokyo
to carry Commes de Garçons' hand-finished Homme
Deux line. (Think Armani chic with anime accents.)
Even East London's promoting full on class
with the opening of Philip Start's (the founder
of men's store Woodhouse and the cult Start
boutiques) Tailoring and Made-to-Measure shop. A Savile
Row meets Shoreditch mantra comprises bespoke suits
and a complementary accessories range (custom ties,
shirts and cufflinks). For less patient lads there
is an exclusive selection of ready made suits by Balenciaga
and Aquascutum.
