Duchamp London celebrates the London Collections: Men at The Experimental Cocktail Club

On Saturday night Duchamp London invited the menswear fashion crowd to a (not so) hidden gem in the heart of Chinatown – The Experimental Cocktail Club – to celebrate the showcase of their latest SS14 collection during the London Collections: Men.
Drinks and fashion pretty much go hand in hand throughout the whole of fashion week and we all seem to Instagram more happily with a cocktail on the other hand.
I am all about the beautiful decor, which always looks best next to a stylish crowd, and Duchamp had both. Everyone celebrated the kick-off of the season greeting friends and colleagues we haven't seen for a while and I couldn't think of a better way to get into the fashion week mood.
The talented Mr Jonathan D Pryce is responsible for all the great shots of the dapper gents and ladies below.

Ed's note: I am wearing Polo Ralph Lauren gingham shirt, Uniqlo knit blazer, Hugo Boss blazer and Hermès pocket square.

Duchamp London's Cufflinks: A Story of British Craftsmanship

Ever since I first got into fashion when I was quite young I have had a fascination with the creative process designers and brands go through to produce their products. The fascination is more intense with the physical act of creating, which is why I've spent many hours of my life watching videos and documentaries and carefully observing how anything from suits to socks are made. This is why I loved these images below taken by the talented Jonathan Daniel Pryce for Duchamp London.
The photographer visited the brand's Kent-based workshop where their master craftsman creates their very singular cufflinks, which are all cast in the studio by hand following Duchamp's detailed designs.
Enjoy the video above and the pictures below and make sure to stop by the Duchamp website to take a look at their cufflink collection – I am curretnly fixated on the 'Vortex Crystal' (veryJay Gatsby) and the 'South Beach' (perfect for a summer night). And I am also looking forward to these animalistic collection I am sure we'll be seeing soon.
