Ports 1961 A/W 2014
Ports 1961 creative directors Fiona Cibani and Ian Hylton are on to a good thing with their tidy, tailored, but tweaked, take on menswear. The formula for Winter was simple - take a clean pressed white shirt, wear it over a black turtleneck and then you have a neat base for all manner of original layering. The combination sits as beautifully under traditional suits as it does informal hooded wool anoraks and wool sweaters. The duo's thoughts on layering were compelling and though not all men might take a nylon parka and wear it under, rather than over, their suit jacket, it's well worth the try. So too are the new morphed shapes - from a Prince of Wales checked suit that sprouted a cape back, to a hooded sweatshirt cut from glossy pony skin to a hooded black Swakara cape that swept dramatically across the floor in wool gabardine.
