Hey Guys,

It’s the start of a new week and what better way to get things going than with an outfit that I’ve put together especially for you all to enjoy!

When it comes to men’s style Ben Sherman always tends to crop up and they continue to re-establish their image with the new Spring 12 Plectrum – Brighton to Tokyo collection.

Check out the Spring 12 Look book and as always, let us know your thoughts!!

So when a few weeks back my good friend (and photographer for this shoot) introduced me to a site called UNDSCRVD I instantly knew I wanted to work with them in some capacity.

I won’t babble on too much about what they are, as you can read a better write up on that from their “about” page. However, in a nutshell UNDSCRVD is a menswear site that concentrates on selling great looking men’s bags. Whether that be a cool independent or a large global brand!

We decided to get creative and collaborative on the shoot and Mr Alexander Milnes had the great idea of shooting all the bags in mid air! Easy right? Hmmm… the word challenge would be an understatement. However, we managed to pull it off and I’m pretty pleased with the end results! Remember you can check out all the behind the scenes pics by clicking the last photo at the end of this post.

Enjoy…
