Gentlemen, start your engines. Or, in case you don't drive a '68 Lancia, shine your shoes, chalk your pool cue and thank your lucky stars that James Cameron is here to help your gentlemanly aspirations. This isn't hipster dandyism, this is the real gentleman/scholar deal.
As Spring Fashion Week arrives, James is unrolling his new range of wares, replete with his well-mannered sense of stripped-back, wearable tailoring, and The Great Escape era Steve McQueen rakishness. Unlike the Motorola-endorsed sameness that you're likely to find at MMSFW though, James has, appropriately enough, planned a bespoke launch for his latest collection, The Outsider.
The James Cameron store in Oliver Lane is being transformed into a '68 Paris basement jazz club, with live band, pool table and bar. And if that weren't enough, the invitations (that's right, invitations) come with coupons for a shoe-shine and free grooming agents when you get your hair cut at Fur and chin shaved at Rockit Barber Shop.
If you can't secure yourself an invitation, have a shave, shine your shoes, get a haircut and drop in to see the new range anyway because real gentlemen, in the literary sense, are thin on the ground and James is here to remind us that boys become men, and should embrace it.
