TANO at London Collections Men

er Styles Rocker: (gushes, breathlessly)  It makes the other elements look even more fashionable and beguiling.  It's the top model among the plethora of fedoras at Men's Fashion Week. Admittedly I LOVE all LCM fedora hats, but this one, melts my heart; multiple times; it's undoubtedly the most, achingly immersive hat, I have EVER seen, on the London Collections: Men scene.  SS17

In my book, it's the fedora of Men's Fashion Week, unquestionably. Just saying. Fedoras are my favorite piece in any ground-breaking ensemble; they are always an outfit's glory. Little wonder, I tremble; I simply can't wait to speak with you about this success story. It resembles a deity. I am mesmerized by the beauty; the design; simply jaw-dropping. Hence, my clapping.

That's the kind of sartorial aesthetic that I admire so much that I always it rock myself and also curate at London Collections: Men.
