Topman Denim Project Featuring Designs by Shaun Samson, Katie Eary, Oliver Spencer, Lou Dalton, Mark McNairy & Topman Design Available TODAY

Shaun Samson

Everything is right about the Shaun Samson denim jacket from the wash to the mesh detail at the back. The Mark McNairy and Topman design versions would've been nicer if their washes were lighter, giving it a sort of used feel. They look too new for my liking. My second favorite is the Lou Dalton piece...extremely gorg. Peep the full collection after the jump.

The FACE: Model Harry Uzoka Stripped Bare

Several models are known for the most prominent assets, some are called the body or legs lmao and some the FACE. Safe to say that London town boy Harry Uzoka fits into the 'Face' posse with his striking looks that possess the dual quality of appearing soft yet mature. Harry speaks to Men's FSA about modeling and his goals for the future.

What are your full names?

Haha not many people know this at all but Harry Osuya Ugochukwu Uzoka :)

Whats your ethnicity?

Nigerian

How were u scouted?

My brother used to model and took me in with him one day where my booker Simon Worgan saw me and signed me on the spot

 What's your favorite thing about modeling?

Modelling itself I love trying all the clothes different poses and stuff .. Then seeing the final outcome soo much fun ..

What part of your body do you consider as your most valuable asset as regards your work?

My face I guess .. I don't think it's all that but others say its good that I can look really young and  soft but also strong and mature in pictures

What's your guiltiest pleasure?

Sweeetiesssss!! Lol I love sweets man but it's soo bad for me :(

What can't you live without and why?

My iPad .. It's ,y everything literally .. My Internet .. My tv .. My schedule .. Journey planner and twitter :p lol

Asides modeling what other creative stuff are you into?

I love football and wish I could play more but modellings all I have time for at the moment . Arsenals my team

 If you could have one super power what would it be and why?

it would be to influence peoples thoughts by looking into their eyes and telepathically telling them what to think and do .. Why? To book every casting I go to haha

IF you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and why?

To give everyone a 100% positive and clear mindset .. There's soo much wasted talent due to people thinking there not good enough or because of obstacles they think they can't overcome ..i find that soo sad .. We can all achieve whatever we want to, nothing's impossible

This by far is my favorite photo ever taken of Harry so i thought to play around with it and put it through various filters, and it held its ground.

Details: James Long Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection

Quilting, Shear-ling, Bedazzling were executed to perfection and as i sit here writing on my desk with a little back ache no thanks to studying for a grad degree i still remember the James Long aw12 show as the models walked passed glittering. James Long was pushing all my buttons as he sent model after model out in either a embellished collared shirt, quilted jacket or thick worsted luxe wool jumper. I'm def going on a baked beans diet to save for most of the pieces in this collection, especially the shirts and gold threaded cardi's. By far my favorites menswear collection from the just concluded #LFW. More detail shots after the jump.

In Lust With: Joseph Turvey AW12 Collection

After i watched the video of the Joseph Turvey AW12 show, the towering figure of the designer who sort of dwarfs the two male models who came out with him is stuck in my head. I try to link a couple of images or other sensory perceptions to give it some sense then something clicks. That towering image sort of reflect the impact this collection had on me. I did not get a chance to see all the mens show but i've read all the reviews and watched all the shows and of all of them, Joseph Turvey and 3 other labels are the ones that i recollect best.

The designer sent all the right vibes out for his Eponymous label's debut show under the Vauxhall Fashion Scout umbrella. Never seen illustration find its way onto clothes and make the clothes their home, some of the garments seemed like sartorial portraits. I liked how the illustration and print on some of the shirts matched the shorts and trousers. That was a well thought out aesthetic that did not get lost in translation.

I'd never seen a more appealing use of lace for menswear and I'm not trying to sound corny, its just the lain truth. I'd never wear lace but I'd consider this.

 

I want this backpack

In major lust with these raglan sleeve crew neck peek a boo jumpers, they're are the best things since Kitkat and i bet I'd derive more pleasure from them than even an orgasm...lol ok exaggerating but you get my point.

My London Fashion Week Day 1 Look via lelook.eu

My outfit for the day shot by lelook.eu had to be school ready as most of you might not know that I'm currently in Grad school studying for a business degree, so there's no way i would have gone to school looking like an alien eccentric enough for fashion week. Peek closer shots after the jump as well more details on my outfit.

Hat from Ghana: I was in Ghana 5 times last year alone and already consider myself part Ghanaian, i can speak their pidgin so i guess that counts for some kind of acculturation :) .... i got this hat at their arts center and its made of traditional Ghanaian fabric Kente.  i loved the colors and shapes from the moment i saw it.

Denim Jacket Levi's vintage: Been searching for the right wash for a bit...i got one from H&M on one of my frenzied shopping days but it looks basically new and nothing more to me now. So i marched to the vintage section at Topman's Oxford store and copped this.

Green shirt River Island: Shirt was on sale for £20 marked down from £35 so i grabbed it :) 

Watch Casio: I've got 3 Casio databank watches and they're the only kind of watches i wear, at least for now till i'm able to comfortably afford a Rolex without going broke for months. I got the 3 of them from diffrent sources; one in Nairobi, another from Asos and the third from amazon. Y'all should check out Amazon, they got some good deals.

Black jeans H&M: Basic black jeans..what more can i say :)

Converse vintage (Topman): It's become  a tradition -and i use the word 'tradition' cos this has grown bigger than a mere habit- that the moment i walk into Topman at Oxford circus i turn right and go straight to the vintage section to scan the new additions. Got the cool converse sneakers there...i mean look at them, why would anyone want to get rid of them? well whoever owned it before me, all i can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart :)
