New Gieves and Hawks - Ridiculous!

[Dickie]

I was perusing the new Gieves and Hawkes A/W collection, which I have to say was generally quite nice (though out of my price range), when I came accross this -

Is it just me or is this preposterous. It takes a few seconds for the pink slippers to register as the gold sash with tassels rather steals the eye to begin with!



ps. a hat in sight

What's the deal with the sash under the tuxedo?

Is there a significance/cultural reference for this?

Hmm...I'd like to wear Gieves & Hawkes, but I don't want to wear their logo.

I love the colour of the cardigan - i've always had a softspot for cableknit... It looks so very pretty.

I can't say it does a lot for me, nor would it do much for me if anyone was able to convince me to try it on lol

Much more my kind of thing is the off the peg Gieves & Hawkes tweed suit of mine that my wife currently has for auction on ebay (with my blessing I might add) as she thinks my wardrobe needs thinning out.

Simply horrendous. Yuck.

Its fashion.

Something for everyone. Just because it's not your style, doesn't mean it isn't someone elses.

If people only sold what you want to buy...then you would complain that everyone looked the same and was copying you.

lol

 

[The Wingnut]

Indeed it is fashion...it's certainly not stylish.

Hot pink...what were they thinking?

Barbie, your slippers have arrived, complete with androgynous model.

Its fashion.

That's the point. G&H was never a fashion house, as they dealt in traditional men's clothing. Previous associates at No.1 Savile Row are spinning in their graves. BTW, I hear that the predecessors at No.8 are in for a spin as well.

I have a classic pair of Gieves' black Oxfords- the sturdy variety- very '40s in shape and proportion.
Nice.

Stick to the good stuff G&H.

[Dickie]

Quite so - if you look at the rest of the stuff in previous collections it's all fairly normal and very stylish stuff that I'd love to have in my wardrobe... They do seem to be moving in the direction of 'fashion'...

I was wearing one of their suits I thrifted yesterday and it is a great suit.

 

[Feraud]

There is a G&H suit sitting in a thrift store in my area. The price is extremely reasonable and the material feels outstanding.

 

[Mid-fogey]

Looking around their website...

...they have some nice things. But the skiny little dude in the webline looks like the doorman to sissyville.

 

[Will]

Nice tailoring too. Both the trousers and the jacket sleeves are too long.

Somebody rubbed a lamp and this guy popped out.
