STYLE INSIDER SUMMER 2014 9
This summer we’re proud to announce a unique collaboration with international charity War Child to launch an exclusive t-shirt, to support in its drive to protect innocent children from the brutal effects of war.
The exclusive ‘Come Together’ design which we’ve recreated in two colours for men, women and kids, was originally worn by John Lennon in 1971 when he was famously pictured with his wife Yoko Ono.War Child and music go way back. In 1995 they recorded the iconic ‘Help’ album, bringing together a supergroup of Sir Paul McCartney, Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller to create a cover of the Beatles’ track ‘Come Together’. We’re excited to marry the charity’s strong links to music and our affinity for fashion to ultimately support the cause and make a difference where it really matters.
Our t-shirt will be available in selected stores and online from May 2014 and we will be donating profits from the sale of each t-shirt directly to the cause. Get your hands on a cult classic and wear yours with pride.
“We are excited and honoured to join forces with a charity that has already cemented such a sterling reputation. Through this exclusive partnership, we hope to not only utilise our resources as a retail leader to raise awareness of War Child and their cause; but also to support innocent children caught up in terrible wars worldwide.”
BEN LEWIS, CEO, RIVER ISLANDABOUT WAR CHILD
ABOUT WAR CHILD
War Child is a small international charity on the ground in some of the worst conflict-affected places in the world, providing support that changes lives. They are there long after the TV cameras have gone home: for the immediate impacts and for the long-term, from emergencies to recovery. War Child is there for the most vulnerable children whose homes, families and communities have been torn apart. This includes children living and working on the streets, exploited in the worst forms of child labour and child-survivors of sexual violence..

A STYLE COLLECTIVEThe age of the gentleman is back
PHOTOGRAPHS BY JONATHAN DANIEL PRYCE
A collective is born out of a shared interest or a common belief. For the Sartorial 7 it was menswear that brought them
together. Each member hails from different creative areas of the fashion industry – from bloggers to stylists to photographers. In the grand tradition of Beau Brummell, these seven men pride themselves on carefully considered dressing and snappy styling. Teaming elements of classic formalwear with modern day styling, these gentlemen convey a fresh take on tailoring. Bin those baggy jeans! The age of the gentleman is back.
“The sartorial 7 linkup worked perfectly, teaming up to show the everyman that he can look sharp without breaking the bank.”
TERRY DONOVAN, FOUNDER OF SARTORIAL 7
& MEN’S FASHION PR.
7 GUYS, 7 OCCASIONS. We find out how the SARTORIAL 7 dress for

STYLE INSIDER SUMMER 2014 19
“A navy three-piece is a timeless and classic look. The versatility of the whole outfit is great. It wouldn’t look out of place at a summer wedding or another event, as you’d just need to change the shirt and tie to create another completely unique look. My number one style tip is to keep it simple; you never want to make any outfit look forced. Especially when it comes to tailoring - you need to wear the suit, not the other way around.”
PHIL GREEN PERSONAL SHOPPER
ON DRESSING FOR WORK
“The look I went for was simple and versatile. I would wear it for a day in the office but with an air of sprezzatura. These pieces can be styled alone or with other tailoring garments to create a mix-and-match look. The loafers I wore look great with socks and sans sock but make sure you moisturise those ankles if you do go without! What’s my style tip? Even if you only have one shirt and one pair of trousers, make sure you press them! It doesn’t matter how many clothes you have or what label is on them, it’s how you wear them and how you present yourself that counts. Attitude and manners go a long way!”
TERRY DONOVAN MEN’S FASHION PR ON DRESSING FOR WORK
“I styled my outfit for a day at the races, which of course is a grand occasion and a fun day out. Girls are great at dressing up and making an effort, yet when it comes to the guys I see so many wearing the same full navy, grey or black suits that they wear to the office. There really are so many options in suiting right now. Whilst the weather’s fine why not opt for a lighter colour and fabric? Blue and cream look great worn together as they really set each other off. I added some detail to the core of the outfit with stripes and paisley, while the tailoring stays clean and crisp. The tassel loafers finished off the look and add the perfect balance of smart without being stuffy. My piece of style advice is to wear your clothes with confidence. Any outfit looks better with confidence. Even if your friends berate you, they’ll secretly want to know where your outfit is from, and soon enough

“I loved my evening look from River Island. The black three-piece is a great take on a classic style, paired with a clean white shirt and bow tie. The tassel loafer is a great summer shoe and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. My style advice is to never over think what you’re wearing. A lot of people get carried away with accessories; pocket squares, tie bars, pocket watches etc. Just pick the one. Less is more.”
CHRIS BENNS STYLIST & MENSWEAR EDITOR FOR HUNGER MAGAZINE
ON DRESSING FOR PROM
“In all honesty, the inspiration behind my look was Mikey Dale’s Instagram! I love the mixture of sartorial and casual elements and I’ve found them really fun to style together. Today’s shoot was the perfect opportunity to give the look a go myself! My style advice would be to find a local tailor to make off-the-rack pieces look bespoke.”
NIGEL RUWENDE DEPUTY EDITOR AT
INDIVIDUALISM.CO.UK ON CASUAL DRESSING
“My look would be perfect for a summer beach wedding on a hot day. Light breathable fabrics for comfort, a sharp waistcoat for formality and to give the body a good shape (hides the beer belly too), and a bit of personality shining through via the print pattern tie. My one style tip would be to make sure the fitting of your clothes is right and to get a second and third opinion. Remember that if it fits well and you feel confident, it’s likely that you’ll look great.”

“As we were shooting in Brighton I really wanted to invoke my inner ‘mod’ for this look, hence the slim cobalt suit, knitted tie and the sixties style club collar. I have a love for clashing casual elements in to sharp tailored ensembles too, so these clean white sneakers were an obvious choice. When it comes to style advice, I’d say always match your leathers. Brown shoes and a black belt? HECK NO!”
