Topman LTD

for anyone who baulks at the idea of Triple A (Topman's rock & roll range) then Ltd will no doubt be up your street. News reaches us that the range will now be available in 55 stores worldwide when their new Dockyard collection launches on January 3rd next year. The line is more sophisticated than the mainline collection and focuses on tailoring & high quality fabrics.
We love Dockyards mix of cable knits, thick denims & naval styling.

Day 1 of Day 8


Launched today is Day 8 from Dunhill, a new online platform created and managed by Dunhill to showcase curated and created content including images, articles and films. Dunhill defines Day 8, online and an iPad app as not a blog or e-zine but instead as a vision of the world viewed through the Dunhill eye.
for their first post the luxury brand has commissioned illustrator to draw the 4 homes of Alfred Dunhill (which is London, Hong Kong, Shanghai & Tokyo)

We Love Clare Cummins


What a great set my dear.
2 hours later an inebriated Clare writhed around the strippers pole. Fell down a flight of stairs. Broke her wrist. Lost her phone, keys & wallet & slept in McDonalds.
Clare we love you.

OH WHAT A NIGHT



We threw a party on Saturday to celebrate the SEX issue and show off the amazing portfolio of work Frank Strachan did with photographer Philip Riches. We drew quite the fashion crowd with Dean and Dan the Dsquared Twins, Christopher Kane (Who was seen later knicking some artwork from the shoot!), Gareth Pugh and Katie Eary amongst lots of other fashionable and fashionista gays.
It was a massive success (just check out Skins style footage above) and a massive thanks to Elauan Lee (aka DJ Spinderella on the night) for organising it, making it amazing oh and playing Pony by Genuwine which went down very well indeed.

Diesel Experiment: Day 1

The boys of the style team are on a mission to test Diesel's new denims. Their latest innovation Turbo jeans have a special dye in them that distresses the jeans quicker than your average pair. 30 to 60 days in fact, depending on how distressed you want them.
Today is day 1 & Frank & Chris's jeans are rather stiff as most new jeans tend to be & quite dark. (Though we could be wearing frankly anything judging by this picture)
We hope by day 20 they are a lovely shade of blue & the knees are shot.
Stay tuned!

Dancing On My Own

Nothing gets the party going like Womanizer

LCF For Asos

Asos have partnered with London College of Fashion for their MA}KE range, choosing Domingo
Rodriguez from their MA course. Expect fine knits, gorgeous fabrics and a subtle colour palette

Aussiebum Tried & Tested


It may be Winter here but in Australia it's always summer & everyone's beautiful & there is no crime. Hoorah! It's also where Aussiebum is from, they decided to hit Bondi beach where all the rad surf dudes hang & get them to road test their new WJPro package lifting pants.
Bit hot a bit gross

The Bandarf


An abomination. Though we would be happy to road test it if JML wants to send us one.
At least they're not Crocs

Merry Happy Crazy Colour

When it comes to Christmas, why stop at red & green when you can use the whole freakin' colour wheel! Dover Street Market have done just that & our bank accounts would have been shot had we spent any longer in here. Love the polka dot teddy bears, the peter pan collared Comme Des Garcons shirts & the limited edition fragrance in a papier mache bottle.
Also there's a massive clay elephant in the window. Woah Nelly!

New Face: Elliot Dillon

He's from M&P & he is smouldering.

Colouring In Converse

Fans of Converse rejoice! We have long been fans of Converse & it's many guises. We own the American print ones, the Missoni collaboration & a good old black pair for when we're feeling 'minimal' but we've always harboured a desire to design our own which is why we wooped when we read about the new customization service in the Offspring department of Selfridges. Choose from a huge selection of designs & with minutes an original pair of pumps will be yours.
We wonder if we can have Katie Waissel's face on ours? We can only hope.

Attitude Towers is Famous!

We did however find time to watch The Apprentice last night & spotted our building!
A shiny penny goes to anyone who knows where this is.

Behind the Scenes At The Porn Shoot


Another film from the infamous porn star shoot. Phillip Riches shoots, Frank Strachan oversees the outfits & The Saturdays serenade. Nice buffet too.

Well This Looks Good

As if the panic of a H&M/Lanvin extravaganza wasn't enough. Browns department store on South Molton Street is having an 80% off sale which means penniless people who can barely afford dinner can buy Dries.

Christmas Windows!

Topshop have gone for a winter blizzard theme here, it reminds us of the Chanel show earlier this year which is clearly a good thing.
We may also do a Jesus count in future as so far we've seen none.

Sharpen Your Elbows

We are currently chained to our desks this morning but if we were among the thousands of hungry shoppers waiting outside the H&M store on Regent Street these are the delights what we would have purchased/killed for.

Stella McCartney Switches On Her Mayfair Stores Christmas Lights Tonight

Catherine Tate will be there too. We hope Madonna comes along again like in 2005.
She's a game old bird.

Christmas Windows! (Sung to the Tune of Steamy Windows by Tina Tuner)

Cartier get the ball rolling with their gorgeous bow display on Bond Street.

Anthony Price For Topman


A little video of what is on offer. We love the military one in grey. It gives an air of importance & people don't mind so much if you barge them on Oxford Street if you're wearing a coat which says 'I'm important' or at least that's what we've been lead to believe.

Pooch In A Puffa

We love when we see a teeny tiny doggy dressed up for a walk in the park, they always look so proud of themselves, as do their usually gay owners.
We especially appreciate Roberto Cavalli's line of canine clothes. Digging that white number too, we imagine J.Lo dresses her dogs in all of this.

More Birthday Treats!

Elauan & Chris got in on the act too, putting all their pennies together & purchasing this rather nifty jumper from Topman's Triple A collection.
For the full Frank Strachan experience;
team it with Adidas tracksuit bottoms & hang around your local Subway.

Happy Birthday Frank Strachan!

Our esteemed Fashion Director Frank Strachan turns 30 something today. Hoorah!
New Look sent him this lovely varsity jacket which he wore ever so proudly around the office.

In Town: Marlon

Marlon is from Premier models & arrives in London this week.
On behalf of the gay male population of the U.K, Welcome!

Paije Steps Out

As much as want to love Paije's confident outfit & enjoy the brand Humor, we think it may be a little too much. We realise the X Factor contestants are having clothes thrown at them from all angles but to wear them all at once is a different story.
It's the sort of thing a Russian billionaire's wife would do or Posh Spice circa 2004.
Our recommendation is this Paije: If you're going to wear a jazzy jumper such as this, don't pick a pair of trousers that match. Choose a darker denim or maybe a chino. Likewise if you want to sport a coloured jean, choose a plain top or a breton stripe if you want a print.
Yours, Attitude Style.

Wowza!

These biker jackets are from Schott & the style is called perfecto. Sounds about right.

New Face: Rodrigo

Rodrigo is from M&P models. The end.

Shopping at Seven Dials

Shoppers of London lend us your ears for November 25th is The Seven Dials Shopping Event. Located in the heart of Covent Garden (right by where Chicago is) loads of stores in the area are offering 20% discount including Mint Vitage, Diesel, Freddy, Office & Firetrap to name a few. Some stores will also be putting on in-store entertainment. Now what more of an excuse could you possibly need? We recommend going to Dishoom for dinner after,
if The Ivy is fully booked that is.

Last Nights Launch: One New Change


Last night we were invited to the opening of the roof terrace at One New Change, London's newest shopping mall. We sipped mulled wine & ate mini sausage & mash. We also were witness to Alicia Dixson performing a 3 song set to the crowd, which included Vanessa Feltz who looked great in her white fur coat, we offered to snuggle up to her as the heaters weren't up to much.
She said she was up for it if we were & we laughed nervously.
