The new looks, updated traditions, and influential designers defining menīs fashion today, from the worldīs capital of gentlemenīs style.

Combining the unique heritage of gentlemenīs tailoring with a progressive approach to street style, London is fast becoming the worldīs capital of menīs fashion. For this book, Dylan Jones presents a discerning sartorialistīs guide to the capital, from Londonīs coolest neighborhoods to the studios of its most influential designers and beyond.

Beginning with an exploration of Londonīs chicest urban villages, the book reflects the extraordinary eclecticism of the cityīs street style-from envelope-pushing streetwear in Shoreditch to classic tailoring in Mayfair. Forays into the coolest and hardest-to-find menswear shops in the city at once reveal the sources of the fashions on display and capture the atmosphere of the capital. At the heart of the book are profiles of Londonīs top designers-from world renowned brands to up-and-coming names, these are the designers whose work is shaping the future of menswear.

Legends such as Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood, whose flair for subversion colors their refinement, sit alongside younger designers such as Christopher Shannon and Agi & Sam, pioneers of bringing graphics and pattern to luxury streetwear. Icons of classic elegance such as Tom Ford and Burberry contrast with a new generation of designers, from Nigel Cabourn to Mr. Hare, whose redefined silhouettes and innovative materials take the traditions of Savile Row into the new millennium.
