Ok, so I’m pretty much on my own in the office when it comes to my obsession with One Direction but I couldn’t help but draw parallels with our Autumn / Winter 2013 Collection and the boys look in their video ‘Kiss You’. We gave you a sneak peek of the new collection which we showcased at London Collections: Men earlier this year. Our fair isle inspired knits, roll collars and long johns were highlighted as key knitwear pieces for the forthcoming season and I can personally say I’m a massive fan of the look!!

Spring / Summer 2001 Collection
I’m in love with this picture taken from the John Smedley Spring / Summer 2001 Collection. The coral colour lips are a hot trend that we will see a lot more of in Spring / Summer 2013 and is suitable for a range of skin tones. The roll neck sweater worn with the pleated skirt and ornate belt nods to the 1950’s – super cute look!
