As London, fashion week draws to a close and with New York and Milan completed. A number of noted designers had the chance to display their SS/11 collections, regardless of your take on style spring /summer 2011 has something to offer everyone from the fab Male fashionista to the casual cheeky chap a combination of good old fashion tailoring with modern inspiration. Men's SS11 is one of the most diverse and upbeat seasons we have seen in some time. 
The D&G runway shows offered a stylish laid back look with jeans, tailor blazers and check shirts for those who prefer the smooth understated image however on the flip side their off white suit with slim tie creates a sensual image and looks like it just stepped out of a scene of Reservoir dogs. Prada mix it up and put on a lively display of colour with greens, blues and reds perfect for today’s vibrant male. Gucci keep in line with the classic tailoring offering slim leg trousers and double-breasted jackets in a variety of Grays. For the more casual approach team slim leg trousers with light knits or shirts in a range of white, creams and caramel. Shorts are massive for men this session and Gucci put there spin on this by offering them in suede also really big for SS/11 the light as a feather version has taking suede to a new level of wearability pair shorts with a loose fitted shirt for the perfect summer ensemble. 
From tailored to loose, trousers to shorts and leather to suede, this season’s collections defiantly have a common thread of the modern gentleman. However, as the catwalk versions filler down into high street hot picks there is most certainly something for everyone, so get shopping but remember fashion has no limits or boundaries. One size does not fit all one person’s interpretation of fashion will never be the same as another’s we are all influenced by the foundations that have been laid through years of developing styles ,designers and fashion icons however it’s about using this and embodying an image that work for you that is after all the beauty of fashion.Nikki Noir
