Menswear Collection
The long awaited return of the Antipodium Menswear Collection is here!
Known for his own moderne personal style, Geoffrey J Finch is not the sort
of gentleman that would leave the house in flip flops as they call them in
Old Blighty.
Geoffrey is a sharp dresser and this is naturally reflected in his own collection
which he launched in an exclusive presentation at London Fashion Week
last September.
If you looked through any of the Menswear Runway shows last month, you may
have noticed the strong returned of the cropped trouser.
I have long been a fan of this style, perhaps a Mod thing, perhaps Paul Weller
circa The Style Council too.
The collection includes some sexy 90's inspired short sleeved knits.
I also LOVE the elbow patches...
