For the spring and summer ´15 by Eton has gone far, some might say pretty unlikely sources to find inspiration. In terms of prints there are influences taken for example from the TWA Terminal at JFK Airport designed by the Finnish architect Eero Saarinen resulting as a unique airplane print seen on shirts, scarves and pocket squares and inspiration from Hawaii displayed as a distinctive sunset palm prints for the casual shirts.

One more time - Monochromatic blues in Florence
Another set of pictures from Pitti Uomo (from day 1) courtesy of TSBmen and A&H Magazine, shot by Neil Watson.

Double-breasted suit from SuitSupply, denim shirt (mtm) by Schoffa and mto-tie by Arcuri Cravatte via Linkson Jack. The only things bringing some contrasting colors are the pocket square from Christian Kimber and Portolio by Ralph Lauren in orange. Shoes are made-to-order pair by Alfred Sargent.

While Pitti Uomo in Florence I had a chance to do three quick shoots featuring days 1, 2 and 3 with Neil Watson of A&H Magazine.

The dark green checked linen tie from Berg&Berg is partly (but not too much) matched in tones to the string loafers from Carmina. Bracelets are...
Since presenting their first collection at Pitti Uomo 84 in January 2013 Eidos Napoli has firmly been on the radar of every menswear enthusiastic. The second collection was at least as good and compelling as the first one and the third - collection for spring and summer 2015 - made no exception.Eidos SS2015 - il cuore di pescatore “This is Rome” and “Faces of Firenze” collections are now followed by a line that can be called as “The heart of Fisherman” - inspired by the little and beautiful island of Ischia, located a bit outside of Naples in Italy, that also has been called as the land of farmers and fishermen. The inspiration is shown all-around but goes as far as to...
