D’Lyle Treasure: Straight From The Style Siblings

Cities |  London |  Tokyo | 

Martell and Donya Patrice Campbell are London’s hottest sibling duo when it comes to style, so it was only a matter of time before the two designed their own collection–and D’Lyle Treasure is born.

I recall the first time I spotted the two on the streets of London: Donya, effortlessly pulling off her signature masculine style, somehow still looking feminine and lovely, and Martell, whose utmost confidence can be felt from miles away. The two clearly have impeccable personal style and their fashions fit perfectly together, each complementing the other with signature accessories such as hats, sunglasses and socks. Certainly makes an only child crave a sibling, doesn’t it?

Perhaps you’ve seen them around town, wearing looks like this:

Or this:

Street Style London (18)

Or perhaps this:

Now that you’re convinced that these two are the coolest siblings in town, it’s time to check out their new collection. I’d rather hoped that it would reflect their own personal style, and I was proved right. The D’Lyle Treasure line which BDMTOP viewed at MBFW Tokyo is full of accessories not unlike the ones Donya and Martell have been sporting for years: funky socks, quirky pocket squares and refined hats, all with a distinctly dapper British feel to them.

The silk pocket squares are the perfect combination of vibrant and subdued, giving a gentleman an edge to that suit. The patterned socks also have a similar effect: they seem elegant but playful, and a small peek at them between the your shoe and pant cuff could take that outfit over the top.

My personal favorite are the beaded bracelets, decidedly masculine…but let’s be real, I want one for myself! I’m sure I will see both Donya and Martell sporting accessories from their own collection–oh wait, they already are. You can see from the photo above they are both wearing the bracelets from their collection, proving that D’Lyle Treasure accessories work just as well for men as they can for women.

London Collections: Men: Thomas Pink

Thomas Pink SS16 Presentation, London Collections: Men

London Collections: Men: Thomas Pink, a distinctly British line showcases a bold and approachable collection for SS16. Inspired by 90’s British pop, we can just feel the fun and laughter coming out of the designers. Interesingly enough, among the bold colors, there wasn’t quite as much pink as one might have expected. Stripes, ginghams and varying plaids made the looks sharp and sassy. A select fedora and derby hat added a modern touch.

Gym shoes like white Converse made the looks seem relaxed and comfortable, and the linens really seemed appropriate for spring.

We couldn’t help but love this pinkish coral/yellow combination, actually, one of the few times pink was present.

Plaid-over-plaid seems like a scary thought, but it works here, and BDMOTP is loving those round tortoise-shell glasses!

Thomas Pink isn’t all fun and games though, as you can see from this look, elegance shines through among the casual linen, complete with bow tie.

For starters, who isn’t dazzled by British model David Gandy petting a cute canine? The London Collections: Men Private White VC SS16 collection surely knew how to draw us in right off the bat. Though the dog was a nice touch, the elegant looks at Private White are really what BDMOTP loved.

We loved cuffed pants just as much as a pup

This classic yet modern collection can take the average man to dapper in no time at all. Longer button up trench coats paired with tailored shorts and cuffed pants, preacher collars and of course, sleek white gym shoes to give everything an updated, casual, urban touch. Truly, gentleman’s wear for a mature man who is searching for an understanding, classic look.

London Collections: Men: Matthew Miller

Cities |  London | 

London Collections: Men: Matthew Miller for SS16 says crisp, fresh, tailored and clean…as well as androgynous. Women as well as men walked this season’s menswear collections, wearing, well, pretty much the exact same thing. And really, it looked equally good on them.

I’m sure most men don’t want to wear the same clothes as women, but when skinny pants and tailored trench coats are the main menswear moda, women can’t help but indulge in a little bit of the same.

The styles were simple and work appropriate. Head into the office for your 9-5 with a khaki, grey, white, black or navy starched shirt with pants and a trench, and then go yachting after. No pops of color here, nothing exciting or to trendy, except for a bit of purposeful crinkle and wrinkle, but really a dependable collection any sensible man (or woman) would love to have in his (or her) closet.

London Collections: Men: Belstaff

Cities |  London |

Planes, trains & automobiles…er, and fashion too. SS16 seems to be the year of a man in active duty, military looks, pilot looks, men on the go in general. Fashions need to be utility wear, something stylish, but that can weather any activity a man might engage in.

_D8E1366

Belstaff was certainly prepared for all– anything and everything. Camouflage, leather, pockets, belts and layers, all with a streak of modern and urban chic running through them. Khaki, browns and greens covered the collection, with etches of white as well. Of course, when it comes to wearable, we don’t want looks so wearable the fashion is lost. Funky beige sneakers, backpacks and Timberland-esque boots complete the outfits.

_D8E1345

Never fear, though, because Belstaff has got you covered, men. Prepare to take off in your plane plane, ride that motorcycle and be comfortable as well as looking good. Oh, just be careful not to get mud on those white pants.

London Collections: Men: Duchamp

Cities |  London | 

_D8E1256

Who is the most dapper of them all? Why, Duchamp of course!

Yet another London Collections: Men where Duchamp’s traditional tailored and chic, stylish suits and blazers come out on top. For SS16, we see an interesting take on patterns. The focus is on blue, all shades, and linen for a warm weather touch.  Boxes of all kinds appear: small plaid, large plaid, checkered boxes, stripes, window pane, and even patterns so new and cool they haven’t yet been named.

Whereas this collection isn’t “blue” in the least, more, upbeat and springish, the blue tones do convey a certain somberness, better read as elegance, inside and out. Navy, cobalt, sea, pale, sky, cerulean, blue, bluer and blueish takes on all whole new meaning for Duchamp this season.

Oh and let’s not forget the panting dog. Any man looks extra dapper with a cute canine beside him. Well done, Duchamp.

London Collections: Men: Sibling

Cities |  London | 

The London Collections: Men Sibling SS16 brought us back to high school. For some people, this isn’t a great time to remember, but for others, recollections of the typical cheerleader-football player dynamic were in full force at the Sibling show. The American Dream, right?

Bold colors, pom-poms, football braces, numbered shirts and plenty of action ran the show. Laced-up shirts, pants and accessories were in interesting touch. There was even a suit or two, you know, perfect for that homecoming or prom soiree. Even some marching band collars were thrown in the mix.

Whereas the Sibling collection maybe not be appropriate for Monday-Friday work wear (unless, of course, you  happen to be 16) it certainly was a good time, bringing fond memories back and there is a bright possibility that some of the pieces could be combined with other more basic items to create a funky, flash-back look.

G-O- S-I-B-L-I-N-G!!!

Some pink plaid at Oliver Spencer

Some pink plaid at Oliver Spencer

Oliver Spencer at London Collections: Men is always a BDMOTP favorite, and for good reason. Spencer always pulls out the tricks: diverse models, 70’s inspired clothing with a modern touch, and awesome music. SS16 didn’t disappoint with a string ensemble playing live and some amazing pink plaid standouts. Model David Gandy and rapper Tinie Tempah obviously agreed as they sat front row.

The rest of the collection was almost fall-ish, with tones of evergreen and oxblood and plenty of plaid. Linen and the appearance of shorts kept the collection spring-ish, and we always love a good spring trench coat or bomber jacket. Oliver Spencer does it again with a mature, chic collection.

London Collections: Men: Lou Dalton

Cities |  London | 

Spring SS16 has finally arrived with the Lou Dalton collection at London Collections:Men. What is it exactly that you think of when you think of spring? Whatever it is floating through your mind, Lou Dalton covered it with this collection. The light and airiness of the line was like taking a breath of fresh air. Spring-esque colors like pale blue and light orange spattered a navy and grey line that was stylish yet functional.

First off, the lovely spring trend of layers was bold and apparent. The collection featured items that might actually be useful to a modern man, such as utility pockets, waterproof wear like raincoats and vest while not losing it’s element of trend.

Cool distored plaid patterns softened and updated the forever-lasting plaid trend in a unique and original way. It looks like the shorts suit is here to stay, as we see its appearance on the runway for yet another spring season.

If you are man who doesn’t want to trade comfort and wearability for style, than Lou Dalton is the perfect choice–it offers you both!

London Collections: Men: Nasir Mazhar

Cities |  London | 

Nasir Mazhar is back after being one of the most emerging designer’s on last season’s London Collections:Men runways. The SS16 collection may not be for everyone, but it definitely had it’s own distinct look and intense feel. Largely consisting of black, grey and beige, this “storm trooper” collection was strong and hard, even featuring what looked to be a bullet proof vest in one look.

A pleasant change from the scrawny white boy models who dominate the London runways, diversity was in full force at the Nasir Mazhar show, and really, it’s about time the London runways represent the diverse city of London. All shapes, colors and sizes walked this runway in what seemed to be a goth-inspired collection that drove things back down the basics. We see Mazhar’s classic track suit and baseball hats, lots of layering, interesting cutouts and draping.

Mazhar’s collection may not be for everyone man’s style, but those looking for something tough and different can find it here.
