The Langham Gallery in London are holding an exhibition of the work of photographer Nick Delaney. Nick is a fashion and style photographer who is beginning to make a name for himself in art photography. As you can see from these images (both of which are in the exhibition Nick has almost painterly eye for colour and composition. The image below, of street art in Barcelona, is a great example of this.

Barcelona Wall by Nick Delany

This exhibition of work is from his personal collection of Urban Landscapes taking in cities such as New York, Budapest and Madrid. These are beautiful and arresting images, with a real sense of place. One more image to whet your appetite, below.

Here is a piece about celebrity tailor Oswald Boateng’s argument that James Bond should be dressed by a British tailor. Inasmuch as Bond is an important reference point for men and I think British tailoring is superb, I agree. 

In Quantum of Solace, Bond wears Tom Ford, who is a great menswear designer, though American. Not having seen the movie yet, do any of our readers have a view on whether Tom Ford suits Bond?

Just a quick post about Pose, an exciting new menswear company I found when I was last in Covent Garden.  Pose are a new English company who sell edgy but well-tailored menswear.  I was really impressed with the styling and quality of what they were selling. 

Their tailored suit and jackets are ideal for younger men looking to move from unstructured street clothes to a more worldly cultured look, without losing their hip edge.   Their clothes are sharply cut, exciting to look at and inventive, both in the colour palette they use and the twists that they put on classic designs.  

Pose have some wonderful pieces in their first shop collection, including a mid-blue peaked lapel suit with a sheer-smooth finish (picture below).  They also have a truly elegant sports coat with patched elbows.  Now every menswear range is doing patched-elbow jackets at the moment, but the Pose jacket is very cool, being a crisp houndstooth check, with black patches.  The contrast is simple but very stylish.  

Above all else, it is the inventive use of colour that puts these guys ahead of similar brands.  Their shirts are in colour and fabric combinations that are different from most other brands. 

Pose have an interesting collection and you can also buy on-line from them.   I will write more about them at a later date.  In the meantime you can find them here
