Harvey Nichols, Head of Menswear, Darren Skey

"This incredible jacket, beautifully handmade from a mix of foiled leather and snakeskin fabrics, was the finale piece from his show at LFW. Known for his bold, directional pieces - and having just been awarded a Fashion Forward sponsorship from the British Fashion Council - this sartorial young designer will only get better."

James Long - Snakeskin and Metallic Leather Jacket - £2065

"We always buy strong runway pieces for our Knightsbridge customers. Alexander McQueen’s ‘English Rock’ inspired collection characteristically balances precise and measured tailoring with extreme elements – as evidenced by the amazing flame print consuming this jacket and shirt. As far as prints go, it’s one of the best on offer this season."

"Continuing with strong runway pieces, this print was a stand-out feature from Riccardo Tisci’s triumphant SS12 show. The vibrant bird of paradise contrasted against a crisp white background makes for a refreshing take on the season’s tropical trend."

"A sharp dinner jacket is one item that every man should own. The classic cut of this dinner jacket is reinvented with a silver sparkle, and paired with slim black trousers and patent loafers, adds a lighter touch to a timeless menswear staple."

Gucci - Sparkle Dinner Jacket - £2195

"As one of our new brands for SS 12 we are excited to be stocking a wide selection of shoes, sandals, boots and sneakers from Jimmy Choo. This brand’s dedication to combining luxury with unique design elements is perhaps best demonstrated by the elaborate stars detailing these leather hightops – which are sure to be a hit with our customers."
