personality which was portrayed through his impeccable dress . Italian style recognised the implications of a flattering fit that will ultimately signify the masculine sophistication , this was a far cry from the Ivy Leagues conservative yet comfort-driven clothing . Spring / Summer ‘ 14 sees similar attributes to the above ; the suit which exudes fluid lines and relaxed tailoring is a top trend on the cat walk , from Ermenegildo Zegna to Alber Elbaz at Lanvin proving that romanticised shaping and a shawl lapel can provide just as much power as a stiffly tailored and exceptionally fitted suit ; helped by the ideal of looking utterly effortless . Appearing to leave your home without as much as a thought to the clothes on your back is what shows this effortless look ; the renaissance period so evidently never succeeded in such a thing , nor did they want to , but a powerful suit is one that looks as though it ’ s where it belongs , effortlessly draping the masculine frame , not to show off or magnify arrogance , but to look like an effortlessly dressed gentleman .

A beautifully made grey suit was once sufficient enough to magnify an individuals identity in the professional world , double or single breasted would have been the decider of how extravagant the suit needed to be , accessories extended as far as a cravat and a patterned pocket square to match the socks . The modern man seeks self expression , the modern man wants to stand out and speak to the world through his creative voice . Sauvage exudes understated contemporary design , built for the modern gentleman , a designer which doesn ’ t want to be contained by seasons or trends ; he is inspired by art , culture and doesn ’ t limit himself on the luxury he provides . Prints and jacquard blazers made a spectacle this season and Tom Ford was no exception , individuality couldn ’ t have been more prominent with beautiful brights and prints .

The modern man is a new breed , and we have seen him develop through history . The historic flamboyant renaissance , cool gentlemanly dandys and the 20 ’ s relaxed suit triumphing after World War 1 . The mod suit still makes an appearance on the streets of Shoreditch , where fashion has no evident boundaries .
