During London Collections:Men I went to see an Italian label previously unknown to me. Pheres makes high quality ready-to-wear and bespoke menswear. The AW14 collection shown here includes well-tailored deconstructed jackets in light fabrics with detailing and applications that are entirely handmade, using a mixture of Italian traditional craftsmanship and British bespoke tailoring.
The quality of the tailoring and cloths is superb. The softness of the fabrics and the nature of the construction made the jackets I tried on feel as though they were bespoke, sitting snugly and comfortably around shoulders and chest. The collections also includes ties and silk and cashmere pocket squares; again, made to the highest standards.
I apologise for the many images of me here, but I enjoyed the feel and comfort of the clothes I tried on and, although not all were my size, they give an idea of the classic yet very Italian shapes and cut.
See Pheres for more information.
