A good excuse then, to celebrate the best in British tailoring by reviewing the 5 best tailored brands and what they have in store for us this season.

As London Fashion Week came to a close, we were on the lookout for all the Fall 2012 beauty trends from our English-speaking friends across the pond. And it looks like Amy Winehouse‘s influence doesn’t solely lie with Jean Paul Gaultier‘s Spring 2012 haute couture collection. The cat eye is everywhere in all different shapes and sizes, making it a definite trend for fall. Click to see our wingtip gallery after the jump.

Since time immemorial, men’s fashion in London has been relegated to the sidelines, tacked onto the last day of London Fashion Week when all the ladies have strutted their stuff and all the editors are running off to Milan. But no longer. The British Fashion Council has announced the creation of London Collections: Men, a full three days of menswear shows and presentations debuting in June.

Amongst the bevy of busy prints that has shaped this fashion week, we’ve noticed how equally represented Roy G. Biv has been. These shades, however, are unique to now, with a sense of vibrancy. According to designers in the Big 4: New York, London, Milan and Paris, it’s going to be a colorful Spring. Taste the rainbow.

Spring 2012 is blooming before our very eyes as trends fall in fringe, sprout like flowers and actively kick it into hyperspeed. Designers from New York and London are on a wavelength that transcends oceans, and that frequency is tickling our future wardrobes with trends we love.

This is the most random and playful campaign I’ve seen in awhile. Tim Walker shot this ad for Aquascutum’s S/S 09 line, and I’d have to say it’s quite effective. Not only do I love that all the models are kissing, but I think it’s awesome they all match. Sign me up for the next shoot!
