Words by Steve Doyle

Only for a true Peacock, this is the throw-it-all-on-together look that will make any man stand-out a mile from the crowd. Whether glitzed-up a la Givenchy and Katie Eary or washed-out like Dries Van Noten, the key to getting this look right is to just not give a damn. Think red and green should never be seen? This ain’t the look for you. It’s all about clashing; clashing colours, clashing patterns and clashing ideas. So, basketball heroes meet Palestinian fighters at Givenchy, while at James Long, combat operations meet raver. Think punk, anarchism and squat-raves; anti-establishment anti-heroes ready to make a statement.

Inspiration: Basketball players; Anarchists; Punk; Anatomy; Combat

Colours: Gold; Red; Green; Blue; Clashing prints and patterns – Batik, Plaid, Stripes, Houndstooth, Camo…any in fact!
