denisonboston award winning men’s accessories will be exhibiting at Stitch this year showcasing new LUXE and LUXE LEATHER collections.  The new LUXE LEATHER collection includes fine leather cufflinks and tie-slides in an array of beautiful colours.  Whilst the LUXE collection is available in Stingray and an assortment of semi precious stones including mother of pearl, black onxy and abalone.

All cufflinks in the denisonboston collection are hand finished in Brighton, England and come in an innovative rotating top, wooden grey gloss box.

As well as cufflinks denisonboston will be showcasing a distinctive array of tie slides, lapel pins, and collar stays.  Socks are made in the softest cotton in bright colours and bold designs.  Silk ties, bow ties, scarves and pocket hanks are designed, woven and made in the UK.

Jonathan Boston, Managing Director of denisonboston said; “The LUXE range has gone from strength to strength in popularity so we have extended the range and developed new lines in brown, black, navy and orange leather for a premium colour  luxury feel. By using leather the wearer can co-ordinate cufflinks and tieslides with their watch strap/belt etc.”

Pitti Uomo Florence Report

denisonboston Managing Director Jonathan Boston travelled to menswear trade show Pitti Uomo in Florence for the start of the Spring Summer season earlier this month.
Pitti is always a great start to the season and year, Florence is such a  beautiful,  historic and inspiring city. There was plenty of chatter and predictions about the season ahead. The whole place was buzzing with business conducted with the aid of good expresso, Peroni and the finest pasta!

The tradeshow is a true mix of premium formal and casual wear.  The formalwear looks as sharp as ever; the Italian and English brands styling out against each other. Boss Selection gets my vote for the best in show – or just the ability to take over an entire classical ancient building and turn into a brand mecca, showroom, gentleman’s club and all round halcyon for 4 days. Very Nice work.

Trends wise – Double breasted suiting, muted creams, browns and greys with strong ruby, purple accessories.  As well as blazers in sharp navy tones with orange accent colour and accessories.

On the casual front, had to give respect to Brooks England – heritage fashion cycling wear and accessories. One of the busiest stand on the show, even on the last day. Lots of excited looking Japanese and bearded Englishmen.

Had a quick bit of time for window shopping in Florence too – the locals really know how to dress a window. La Rinascente is always the best for creating a fashion world in a window.

Pitti Uomo sets the trends for the season ahead, I’m looking forward to doing it all over again in June, something tells me a Peroni will taste sweeter in the Summer!

 No. 5 Cavendish Square made for an opulent setting in which to network and be pampered.  Kevin Rose founder of The Luxury Network was on hand to direct us to the Lounge area for complementary cocktails supplied by Snow Queen Vodka.  As the ice melted and we warmed to our surroundings (complete with open fire and pink and gold antique chaise longue) we were introduced to an array of luxury brands, to trial, taste and talk to. 

Diabloms showcased a sparkling range of unique rings. Wonderful shapes in cutting edge designs caught our attention as well as a selection of rare, vintage watches from watchfinder.

Those clever ladies from Buymywardrobe were also on hand to help share some pre-loved luxury in the form of affordable recycled designer shoes and handbags. Not to mention The Raw Denim Bar where jeans are selected for you and arrive delivered to your own door (imaging no more changing room kerfuffle!). Finally we were treated to free samples of Silk Skin Moisturiser, Micro-Dermibrasion and stem Cellution Serum all from Harley Street Clinic. 

Thank you The Luxury Network for inviting us – we met some fascinating ladies and some amazing brands – what more could we possibly ask for – conducting business while being pampered! We only ask why hasn’t anyone thought of this before! A pitch perfect afternoon!

Mind Orchard has teamed up with Nickelodeon and leading cereal brand Weetabix to create a brand new game and supporting online destination for kids. http://www.weetabix.co.uk/weetakid/

Featuring Weetabix’s all-new 3D hero WeetaKid, players find themselves defending Weetaworld from another challenge by the dastardly Evil Eater. Collecting more Weetabix along the way earns WeetaKid more points but beware the evil villain’s spaceship and energy-sapping bouncing bombs!

Backed by a competition for viewers, the new game and microsite forms part of a wider push by Weetabix this autumn in partnership with the broadcaster including a series of animated bumpers, TV spots and online advertising. The new content release created by Mind Orchard is the latest to come on stream in the Weetabix World digital hub, a key pillar of the Brand’s on-going sponsorship with Nickelodeon.

 “Capture” – the next solo show by Matt Lambert

No walls Gallery, Brighton

5-28th November 2011

Private View Friday 4th Nov, 6-9 pm

Lambert’s work is predominantly driven by his own experiences. At 23 and using his spare time he set up a charity Passing It On that has since built three educational facilities inAfrica.  This experience has had a huge influence on his work.

“The privilege of witnessing first hand both the day to day concerns of the third world and western cultures are one that I never take for granted. Excess and greed is present in both extremes but so is hope and kindness. Morality aside, the cultural disparities are huge and this is what drives my ideas. My work is not a charity campaign, it’s far too self indulgent to be that. It is much more a curious exploration into where we find fulfillment and the meeting of different value systems.”

Lambert works in oils on a variety of surfaces including canvas, board and even magazine cover. Sweeping loose marks combine with areas of fine detail, resulting in surfaces that are as rich and varied as his subject matter. His influences include African cultures, celebrity magazines, childhood memories, cinema, cultural symbols, urban landscapes, logos, superheroes and Star Wars.
