    Magritte we tip our Lock & Co. hat to you

    We've stepped into the weird world of the Belgian Surrealist Magritte where bowler hats, pipes and floating apples appear. Magritte's visual scenes have long been a reference point for fashion as fabrics and shapes are juxtaposed with the same dream like aesthetic. (Just take a look at Viktor & Rolf or Comme des Garcons for clues).

     

    Here the James Lock & Co. bowler hat sits perched and high while the cropped pop of the Paul Smith trousers leap from the painting. The TIBI coat running from wool to fine, almost dripping lace sits delicately against the shock of red. The sheer peep of the top is an Eudon Choi creation.

     

    From the mirror emerges the beautifully cut Miu Miu shoes in patent, slick black leather. On the lips the Ben Wade pipe produces a flock of birds.

     

    But as surreal as this world appears this look is a simple moment of colour and clever play with proportions.

    Game, set and match in Tim Soar

    Oh us mullti tasking woman folk. Not content with just looking sleek we can turn our hand to a spot of ping pong in sports luxe Tim Soar top and Hugo Boss shorts.


    A band of pure white streaks across the black buttoned up wool, with signature Soar minimalism. But with a hint of Flo-Jo, the '80s track star known for her incredible manicured nails and extravagant bling, our girl wears the giant brash gold of Moschino hoops, Hannah Martin necklace and Daisy Knight rings.

     

    Strong lines, a pop of pink against the monochrome and slick high pony tail keep the look fresh and steer it gently away from looking like you're heading for the treadmill.


    Tim Soar set up POST Design in the 1980s, moonlighted as a DJ and set up global music consultancy Music Concrete before launching his label SOAR In 2006. Known for mixing high end tailoring with sportswear Tim's designs for both men and women bring a refined androgyny.

    Dark beauty of Burberry and Roberto Cavalli

    Caught in the dark silhouette of Burberry cape, sharp ponytail and Gareth Pugh leggings, glimpses of Roberto Cavalli's gold scaled jacket are snatched. Leaping out of the darkness the intricate sequins and lizard like patterns emerge.

     

    Suspended angular shapes are reminiscent of the clean pure lines of Nick Knight capturing Yohji Yamamoto's work. Moody black shapes from the Lanvin gloves and Bolangaro Trevor dress are stark against the haze and float of the Cavalli coat behind the cut out.

     

    Roberto Cavalli has spent decades in the industry making his leopard print pieces infamous. Known for his sexy cuts and slashed dresses the designer's luxury lifestyle has inspired many collections. He's the man behind tour outfits for Shakira and Christina Aguilera and the Spice Girls.
