Time and time again we have been told by our tutors that you can't design in a vacuum. This year, more than ever, I have become aware of how true this is and how my designs are influenced by the world around me. My collection is shaping up to be quite masculine, and my good friend from Design Brain Bucket is actually designing menswear, so I've been thinking a lot more about what's going on in the world of men's fashion. Another friend posted on The View From Here an image from Lookbook.nu, which lead me to a site I didn't even know existed and down another rabbit hole to discover these quite beautiful, dandy-esque menswear photos by Francois Bouret.
