Back2Black @ BAFTA: A Black Tie Celebration of Black History in the UK

We attended the black tie Back2Black @BAFTA event, a celebration of Black History and Culture, to kick off Black History Month 2014, organised by Mr. Fredi Kruga.

We just had to snap this debonair trio of BowTieBanditz (below)! These guys are working it - rocking pure silk bow ties and dinner suits.

Two went for slimline bat-winged ties, topped off with stylish Cazal glasses to complete the look; one was secure in the knowledge that his jumbo butterfly-winged (thistle style) polka dots were statement enough!



A debonair trio of BowTieBanditz!

Definitely dressed to impress, gentlemen!

What a great image of this slim-line, butterfly-winged BowTieBandit, and proud father, at Back2Black @ BAFTA, passing on the Style Gene to his two sons - a couple of uber-talented, super slim-line bat-winged Banditz-in-training. Brothers Malachi and Maverick opened the live section of the evening, performing their own original rap/beatbox material. We liked their whole look.

Bow Ties & Bottles

We attended the great Miss Ghana UK 2014 event (msghuk2014) over the weekend, and snapped this BowTieBanditz contender, who stood out from the crowd, wearing a white tailored suit and pale pink shirt.  The dramatic contrast with the jumbo black thistle-style bow tie, matching lapel pin, pocket square and Hermes belt, puts an original twist on a monochrome look.

 

With a classic BowTieBanditz bearing, this gentleman radiates comfortable and cool, showing just how to wear a suit with style!

This BowtieBanditz contender wears a sleek, black, single-breasted dinner suit with a traditional white shirt. Kudos for the vivid slashes of red in his thistle-style bow tie and matching pocket square, which really adds drama to an otherwise classically demure look.

This being the Fashion Scout London Fashion Week 2014 SS15, this Bandit also goes for a flash of unconventional flair, donning a plain 1920s grey wool cap up top, and black Vivienne Westwood shoes.

 

TRENDSETTERS History of Fashion

Hi Guys! This is our first real blog to date. We are all about Men's Fashion - from English Gentleman to Pitti Uomo style, not forgetting the Sapeurs with their dandy, vibrant attire.

FOLLOW US, as we go from street fashion to the catwalks of London, through Paris and New York to Milan - which I and, no doubt many of you will agree, is the spiritual home of fashion!

We will also have women's corner, highlighting fashion trends, what's in/what's out and the do's and don'ts of fashion etiquette. We'll be writing up some of the Great Designers and their contributions to the fashion industry - from  Alexander Lee McQueen to Marc Jacobs.

So, lets get started with the shows and backstage bites from London Fashion Week SS15, which featured an energising blast from Vivienne Westwood the rising designs of Sorapol, of course, the Cat Walk Show from the legendary Tom Ford.

This model sports the now-famous full Scottish beard everybody has come to love over the last few years. It somehow embodies the mixed styles of the crisp white shirt, black jeans, trendy braces and trench coat.
