DAKS SPRING/SUMMER 2013 MEN'S COLLECTION

For it's latest SS collection, the house of Daks envisioned a man from the early 18th century London streets being zapped into the the somewhat modern future. So what is that one would see? A fine young dandy prancing through the streets of modern England with an impressed look on his face. 

The two main things that I REALLY liked about this collection are: 1. Even though they borrowed a few elements from the earlier times, they haven't been staying on memory lane for too long, in fact, I like how they've given the collection a modern twist with the thick rimmed glasses and deep V-neck sweaters. 2. They've done something quite incredible with pairing the iconic English gentleman's wardrobe staples - the top hat and the cummerbund with checked shorts and modern day cardigans to give it a bit of an edginess. 

Varied sizes of plaid were seen through out the show and the bright citrus orange trench coats really perked and livened it up. Yet another great presentation by Daks and it's team.
