Rochester: menswear

In the menswear corner, Chelsea Bravo kick started with my favourite menswear looks of the day. In an oatmeal, grey and navy palette Chelsea offered Grecian style drapery with a masculine twist. A jersey playsuit, jumpers with angular seams that forced garments into oversized draped pockets and cowl fronted jerseys were all strong elements yet they worked together rather than vying for attention.

Jo Graham's shrunken tailoring showed of cropped jackets and waistcoats. 3 pieces suiting and softly tailored peg leg trousers with full pleated waists.

Cherelle Reid with her 'monk' music really transported me off to another land and her menswear collection of full silk trousers and cropped jackets was well executed. I loved all the silk jersey harem styles, especially the one that had a skirt effect. The jersey was mixed with wool jackets to again give that hard / soft element. The grey and aubergine palette was bold and calming all in one.
