At ( capsule ) Paris

The ( capsule ) Paris trade show offers some of the best in contemporary menswear today. We asked a couple of our suppliers to pick out a favourite piece from their AW11 collections.

David Keyte of Universal Works with his favourite piece of knitwear for AW11 - the Kingston jacket in soft wool made in the UK.

Jim Pickles from Scottish label D.S.Dundee chose a jacket with removable fur collar.




Ally Capellino sales manager Michelle Noël modelling the "Frances" backpack - their newest addition to the waxed cotton series.

Cuan Hanly from U. S. brand Jack Spade recommended this coat.




Ian Paley with his favourite Garbstore piece. "If you take a picture, you have to buy it", was his comment.




Ryan from Yuketen picked out the Maine Guide boot as a personal favourite.




Mark McNairy thought that the leather / wool long wing was a winner.

Greetings from Mr McNairy - you better not come uninvited to his stand.

At Tranoi we saw Ann-Sofie Back's sunnies for Linda Farrow.
Hers are the ones in the middle, the others are by Walter Van Beirendonck i think.
