Trainers, sneakers, kicks or creps. Whatever terminology you use, one thing stays the same. They can be functional- used for running and sport. They are super comfortable and versatile. Or they can be smart, cool and define your style from the next person.<br />
<br />
An up and coming brand that is stealing the show for me is Axel Arigato.<br />
<br />
Swedish outfitters Axel Arigato have gone from strength to strength since forming in the summer of 2014. In the early days building their collection a design a week and using social media to create a buzz and strong following.<br />
<br />
After starting as an internet only retailer they have recently opened their first flagship store right here in London Soho, and Harvey Nichols has an exclusive partnership to sell them across the UK.<br />
<br />
What first caught my eye was their exotic crafted leather designs, snake, crocodile styles which I know sound 'a bit flashy' but take a look, they actually add a real simplistic quality and much-needed point of difference to other trainer brands.<br />
Uses of suede and fine Italian leather in patent, standard and matte finishes- matte being the favourite, along with a quality handcrafted construction, give the brand a very good heritage.<br />
<br />
Trainer brands can sometimes over complicate matters but Arigato's brand image is simple, clean and very modern. Almost futuristic. You could compare them to Common Projects but in my opinion, I love the brand image of Arigato more, and they do it so much better. This is so clear even by comparing the two different brand websites.<br />
<br />
They are a leading brand, at the moment the creative direction has been to reinvent the laces area of trainers. Take a look at the Clean 90 zip, my favourites. This is a brand constantly looking to revolutionise the classic sneaker.<br />
But they haven't stuck with shoes, moving into clothing, womenswear and leather goods like wallets and card holders.<br />
<br />
Next time you're in London look them up. Thank me later. And keep an eye out for them in my future posts.<br />

Urghh well is that the summer over?<br />
<br />
I really hope not. You've not even seen my pasty chicken legs yet!!!<br />
<br />
I'd like to say that it's been the weather that's been holding me back from getting out there and exploring. But it hasn't just been the rain. Creating and showing new content, I've discovered, can be really hard to keep up.<br />
I've been thinking a lot recently about what is important to me. I'm so excited to have finally booked to go to New York, I can't contain my excitement. And this is a very early warning but there is going to be a lot of content based around that trip, you're going to get sick to death of my pictures, posts, just general open jaw-ness.<br />
As I am spending a lot of time researching where I want to go and planning my trip, I've been spending the same amount of time thinking about what the hell can I post about before I go. I can't just sit around and wait for that I need to push on and share more, now.<br />
That's when I knew I needed to celebrate the now, where I live. And use that as the back drop. Far away from the dreams of skyscrapers and the city. England, its towns, its landscapes and my home. This will be my series over August.<br />
<br />
Looking for inspiration in day to day life can be difficult. I am very susceptible to feelings of inspiration in everything. I am also very lazy.<br />
But one thing that really knocked me off my feet recently was Dunkirk. Christopher Nolan has always been one of my favourites directors, Inception, Batman and one of my favourite films Interstellar.<br />
Dunkirk is a movie that perfectly emotes equal measures of terror, suspense and joy. It's soul gripping.<br />
The sheer fear placed on the viewer as the Luftwaffe thunders down from the sky is immense, utterly unparalleled to the real experiences of those brave men on that beach.<br />
<br />
Beaches and seafronts can be where amazing family memories are made, but they can also be incredibly lonely, abandoned beautiful landscapes.<br />
I had never been to Clevedon Pier before now, but it really is a fantastic place, right on our door step. And your thoughts can't help but drift to remembering just how lucky we are.<br />

Only <b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">big boys</span></b> wear pink.<br />
<br />
It's a great colour, don't be shy! Here are my tips for wearing it this summer...<br />
<br />
-Pink is a pastel colour, perfect for the summer. It's subtle and you can easily pair it with more basic colours that everyone will have in their wardrobe, navy and grey.<br />
<br />
-Try not to make too much of a statement with bold primary pink. It can be done, but it's a very specialist colour. It would have to be a high fashion piece, and you would have to be extremely confident in wearing it.<br />
<br />
-Use pink as the perfect alternative to keep your t-shirt collection looking fresh. If you find a really nice tee with a printed logo, go pink instead of the usual white to add that point of difference.<br />
<br />
-Perfect addition to a tailoring look. Like my outfit above, shirt and trousers from <i>Reiss,</i> it's a perfect way to mix up your summer tailoring stance. Pink suits were huge for Topman and Gucci this season but for a more affordable and less eye-catching adjustment, add a dusty pink tee under the suit. Don't forget for those summer weddings the pink tie and pocket square, perfect with navy and grey slim fit suits.<br />
<br />
-Don't tread carefully. Go pink! Soft pink leather trainers are everywhere this summer. But don't over complicate it. It works best when the focus is on the soft quality leather in that pink colour. Take a look at the offerings from Burberry and Axel Arigato.

Rebirth Of The Cool is a way to express myself, a way to be creative. It's me being brave.<br />
<br />
I've always been passionate about fashion, and have been lucky enough to work for some amazing brands and inspiring people. From the side street boutiques, through high street retail and into the two most prestigious department stores in the world. But recently I came to a crossroads where I wasn't enjoying my life choices and wanted to go in a new direction.<br />
<br />
I want to show you my style, my cool. I want to showcase some exciting new brands, celebrate great British design and take you across the world with me.Tom Hambridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05388509206945547463noreply@blogger.com0Bristol, UK51.454513 -2.587909999999965351.296248 -2.9106334999999652 51.612778 -2.2651864999999654tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639793884447257878.post-33486977868777145652017-07-01T09:37:00.000-07:002017-07-20T07:38:09.250-07:00Rebellion/ Revolution<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Viva la revolucion.<br />
<br />
Bristol is very famous for its graffiti and I know this isn't it's pride and joy but I loved the colours and chaotic nature of this path. It reminded me of my trip to Berlin, take a look in my travel section.<br />
<br />
With this shoot, I'm highlighting a little-known fusion French outfitters April77. Record label and clothing brand.<br />
<br />
"Our clothing is music, and music lives on our clothing."<br />
<br />
Formed in 2002 the brand make incredible denim. Very rock-a-billy, American Western Aesthetic. With a great plectrum holder detail on the right hip pocket.<br />
<br />
The leather biker jacket is a real favourite. A classic black leather biker jacket is a rocker staple. Cut high on the body to give it a vintage and statement heavy look, perfect for those gig nights.<br />
<br />

Cool calm and collected. The Rebirth Of Stone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This season stone is a major trend, shown in a great depth of styles across all the major brands at LFWM. The neutral hues make stone (a cross between white and beige) a really easy colour to pull off, at any occasion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This soft tonal dressing isn't for every butch and burly man around town- so it's perfect for me. But trust me it's such a great colour especially for someone with dark hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you look to dress tonally stone think about keeping cool in the summer with linens, simple tees. But if you're more confident go straight to safari explorer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Build your outfit from the chino up, these are from <i>Reiss</i> like the rest of my wardrobe. But equally if you want something cooler, some stone chino shorts would be perfect. If you're not confident enough to just pair two plain similar colour items together then use a faint stripe or check to break It up. If you have to add another colour try a dusty pink or dazzling white.</div>

My outfit for today has some links to a place that really inspires me.<br />
<br />
Back in 2009, I fell in love with Japan, the culture, the landscape and the buzz that Tokyo had.<br />
<br />
It's always that place I immediately think of when someone says "If you could live anywhere in the world.."<br />
<br />
I love the ancient artwork and design style. This (now sold out) <i>Gigi</i> shirt from Reiss (the home of the Cuban collar) seamlessly blends British craft-ship and elegant Japanese influence. The front panel is a viscose, used here due to its silk-like properties making it luxurious to the touch. The back panel is linen making it ideal for the summer.<br />
<br />
There was something about Japan that I liked, like the subway system, all in Japanese but easier to navigate than our London underground, it was in itself a work of art. my pictures above recovered from an ancient laptop- they were almost thumbnails, showing how much technology has moved on. They show the hustle and bustle, huge eighties style hair and some refined tailoring. Despite the hustle and bustle online China, our previous stop, everyone was so respectful and almost had a collision system implanted into their brains. Chaotic amounts of people walking head on at each other and yet no contact. And not people dodging others like Oxford St, walking like they hate every living being on the planet. Just calm, controlled respectful existence.<br />
<br />
The highlight of the trip was certainly the Beatles tribute band in a recreated Cavern Club in the technology district Akihabara. They have a true love for our culture, as I, for theirs. Would love to go back someday.<br />

As I started this page, it was a major goal of mine to travel, experience and live the world. I've had the pleasure of already visiting some incredible places. Places that I always dream of going back to and exploring now with my camera.<br />
<br />
But the more I've travelled, the more I've lived in different cities and experienced different cultures. It becomes even more important to me to celebrate and be proud of my hometown.<br />
<br />
Britain has an incredible natural landscape, stormy, moody clouds. Lush greens and vibrant colour.<br />
<br />
These were taken mischievously in an unknown farmers field. The credit goes to him, bravo.<br />

This Cuban influenced broad check shirt <i>Queens </i>£90<i> </i>from Reiss is the perfect summer shirt, I make no apologies for a number of Cuban shirts that you'll see me wear this season. They look great on guys that have quite a thin, slim frame. The Cuban collared shirt broadens out your shoulders and makes you feel like you're a lead role in The Talented Mr Ripley.Tom Hambridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05388509206945547463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639793884447257878.post-55252433821853540302017-04-01T14:42:00.000-07:002017-07-08T00:39:42.668-07:00Touchy Feely Bombers<div dir="auto">

But I bet you already have a bomber, right? It will either be a navy nylon, elasticated cuff style jacket. Or a black cotton Harrington style jacket. Which is fine, they are classic styles. But what’s fun about that?</div>
<div dir="auto">
I’d like to show you some styles that are easy to wear, won’t cost a fortune but will add something new to your fashion armour.</div>

Outfit 1<br />
I love this Religion, faux suede and leather patchwork bomber for £125 in grey/black is an instant hit. Cut and sew style clothing has been done before but this is the first time I've seen it addressed in this way. What it lacks in interesting colour it beyond makes up for in style. Perfect to add a standout piece to your all black ery’thing outfit.<br />

Outfit 2<br />
Wait, what? Velour? Hell Yes! You don't have to be in a Little Britain sketch or Sean Combs to be able to pull off velour. Through spring/ summer, it's a great way to add a bold colour you will not have in your wardrobe.<br />
Bomber jacket- <i>ASOS</i><br />
<br />
Outfit 3<br />
I remember myself writing "won't cost a fortune.." well I lied a little. If you like this look it is drastically more expensive but there really isn't a better jacket on the high street right now. The Basse grey full suede jacket (yes real leather) will set you back £375 from Reiss. I've paired it with the soft pink cashmere jumper, and stone chino.<br />

Outfit 4</div>
<div dir="auto">
Going back to Religion, staying tonal is a great way to mix up the usual navy trousers and 'whatever is clean look'. Love the random pocket detail on this piece it's only £85. I've mixed up the texture with the ASOS waffle knit jumper.<br />

Outfit 5<br />
Revamp of a classic. This tweed bomber from Heart & Dagger pairs perfectly with navy soft wool trousers. Tweed in this sense is much more casual and easy to wear. Wearing stripes underneath gives the outfit more interest from further away.<br />

Towering, archaic architecture sprawling the city.<br />
<br />
Berlin really left an impression on me. It's vast, calm and steeped in history.<br />
<br />
The visit was in late February 2016, and Berlin didn't let us down, snow on arrival, just as requested.<br />
Like every major city worth visiting there is so much to do, choose wisely. my advice would be to plan your culture walking the right time vs when you want to hit the night and dance German techno until the next morning. Because trust me, you don't want to compare those two experiences in a 24 hour period.<br />
<br />
Of the many great memories of the trip, I'd like to just share one.<br />
<br />
Before going, and speaking to lots of friends in an attempt to make them jealous I proclaimed I was going to the city. The response was unanimous- even from the people that had never been. "you have to go to Berghain"<br />
As a complete amateur on the German techno circuit, unlike yourselves I'm sure, I'd never heard of it.<br />
<br />
The research began, we saw what looked like a derelict, run down building in the middle of nowhere, hardly the super club we imagined in trendy Berlin. As we continued to find out more, and mostly from friends who had been to the city, the same people who were encouraging us to try Berghain, that the mist difficult thing was to get in. The door policy is incredibly strict. And there was a terrifying 'sons of anarchy' doorman, who seemed almost as famous as the club itself.<br />
We were a little deterred.<br />
<br />
But that night came and as we had just paid 25euros to gain entry to this 'trendy' nightclub in the centre of Berlin, but it was quite dead. Berghain was outside the centre and an annoying taxi away, which added to the fact we knew we were not getting in anyway. What's the point?<br />
Fuck it, let's go.<br />
<br />
After the taxi and awkward encounter with the driver, having pronounced the club name incorrectly and got the typical tourist treatment. We arrived to find a huge queue (let's just think back to the snow that I mentioned, yep) we joined, we were her, we committed. The blurriness of the expensive drinks from the previous club was wearing off at a quick steady pace. The queue must have been 600 strong and as we got closer to the door it was clear only about 30% of the people were getting in.<br />
I thought back to everything I'd read and been told; "know the DJ's playing they will ask, wear all black, don't be drunk, don't look like you're having fun, be German" ok...<br />
<br />
We approached the door, the three Swedish girls in front of us were as nervous as us, but showing it. The German doorman cooly says "hey don't worry speak English" as they try to speak in German to him. They are in. He asks us how we are doing tonight, we respond, in English haha. After a stare that lasts an age, we are in. And I was wearing a burgundy coat, suckas!!<br />
<br />
Through the door, it's dark, close. More security, a heavy pat down, airport metal detectors, and phones surrendered to have stickers put over the camera lens. Easy to remove I know but probably just the universal message to all languages, don't take pictures!<br />
Down through a dimly lit corridor and in..<br />
<br />
[content redacted to maintain the mystery of "the world's most legendary club"]<br />
<br />
Until about 6 am the next morning, we stumbled back to the hotel, walked I think, but to be honest I can't remember. A truly great night and a wonderful memory.<br />
<br />
<b>Culture</b><br />
Berlin wall, <i>sombre, a must see</i><br />
Tv tower, <i>incredible 360-degree views of the city. just be careful the tour guide will try to squeeze people as many people in the lifts as possible. warning if you're not comfortable with tight spaces.</i><br />
Olympic Stadium<br />
<br />
<b>Restaurants/ Bars</b><br />
Thai Inside, <i>my first experience with Thai food and a really great one.</i><br />
The Pub, <i>pour your own pints, start a competition with the table opposite as there's a big scoreboard that tallies up the biggest drinkers in the bar. the prize is the glory of the city.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Shopping</b><br />
Hackescher Markt<br />
Berlin mall, Alexanderplatz<br />
<br />

<br />
To say that I'm a fan, would be an understatement. (In the age of the understatement) no more lyrical puns, I promise.<br />
<br />
For me, Alex Turner is my generation's icon. When I was young, coming up to the end of school, for a kid born in the late 80’s you had two choices pretty much. The aforementioned spotty, shy and un-stylish lead singer. Or the brave, studious, geek chic fashionista, with unbelievable magical powers named Harry Potter. Both had their merits at the time I assure you.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
My introduction Turner and Arctic Monkeys was in line with most, the video for “..Dancefloor”. As I watch it back now, it looks even better then I remember. The blurred grainy quality and the amazing pink hues from the lights in the video seem almost scripted and yet it has a feel that you're watching something very special for the very first time.<br />
<br />
Stepping away from the band and the music, Turner was born in Sheffield, January ’86. Based on the above video at an early stage his style was simple and on the verge of just put together with little effort. But that was the age, simple inexpensive clothing. Remember the white vest. White was a big ‘colour’ back then. I remember myself taking inspiration from Johnny Borrell, The Libertines and Jack White just as Turner did.</div>
<div dir="auto">
From then on we shared a parallel existence, both grew our hair long at that stage when women were starting to become interested. You know that tricky second album growth stage. Parallel. Both started a new band with our mate and strangely created very similar music. Both had relationships with Alexa Chung, which ended far too quickly for our liking.</div>
<div dir="auto">
But joking aside, the reason I hold him in such regard now as a style icon is the journey he has taken. His transformation from boy to man, which is so evident in his image. That sense of growing up and finding your own style which every man does. It doesn't matter what your style is, just find it and push it to the limits. That’s Alex Turner.<br />
<br />
He’s a risk taker and a nonconformist. Nothing crazy, just very subtle. His image revolves around four key areas which he has down to a tee.<br />
1. The pompadour. classic 50’s early 60’s haircut. This is a skill to master and something I'm not going to try. The image is his and Richard Hawley's, I won't be able to do them justice so why try.</div>
<div dir="auto">
2. Leather. Turner is the master of a well-fitted leather jacket. I would go as far as to say you can never have enough leather jackets in your wardrobe.</div>
3. Black. Master the effortless style that wearing black gives you and you will be a true man. Black should always be your go to. Black will carry you all year, every year.<br />
<div dir="ltr">
4. Push the limits of your style. Don’t be afraid to take risks. <i>Wow</i> people. I was there when Turner came out to the pyramid stage in <i>that</i> sequin jacket.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
That last point is key, don’t be afraid. That was his journey from the shy boy in the black hoodie in 2007 to 6 years later, sequin jacket, the crowd in the palm of his hand.<br />
<br /></div>
Turner is the iconic black and white picture. A motionless beacon for style and the journey of man.<br />
