Men’s Style Icon: Eddie Redmayne

Men’s Style Icon: Eddie Redmayne
Introduction
Eddie Redmayne is a name that many would not have recognised mere months ago. Educated at Eton and Cambridge, he had bubbled under the radar for a number of years with a string of minor supporting roles as both an actor and model.
That was until his starring role in the critically acclaimed ‘My Week with Marilyn’ as Colin Clark, a man who was allegedly romantically involved with the pin-up herself.
One to Watch
This one role has catapulted Redmayne into the public eye and, with that, a number of appearances that have highlighted his ability to wear clothes and not let them wear him – the true art of any icon.
Redmayne has also landed the coveted position as the face of Burberry, alongside Cara Delevingne (another British up and comer). This year is his second campaign with the British juggernaut, the first being in 2008.

Style Breakdown: Formal
Red carpet appearances have so far been Redmayne’s bread and butter. The lookbook above underlines his penchant for slim fitted clothing, something that has been ever-present in his more formal attire.
Clean lined, well fitted and often unassuming tailoring has been the main weapon in Redmayne’s red carpet arsenal, something he has utilised to create a sterling silhouette time and time again.
Redmayne should also be credited for his solid choice of footwear. Often avoiding the traditional and plain, he often opts for those with a tactile element, detailed or distressed (but never sloppy) aesthetic, which puts a subtle individual stamp on his outfits.
It certainly would not be out of the question to liken some of Mr Redmayne’s red carpet looks to those of current man of the hour (or year) Ryan Gosling. The slim fit tailoring, minimalistic accessories and the confidence to mix it up and wear patterns are all akin to Gosling’s winning formal formula.

Style Breakdown: Casual
Redmayne’s casual attire is far less documented but, much like his formalwear, it retains the slim fitted, minimalistic characteristics. He keeps accessories to a minimum – although makes good use of scarves in varying shades of blue (in both formal and informal) to compliment his hair and skin tone.
A reoccurring standout of Mr Redmayne’s wardrobe is the double-breasted coat. The pea and trench coat are regular favourites, the latter a pre-requisite for any Burberry model. Along with anything breasted twice over, the trench coat is also a firm favourite here at FashionBeans with a collective of articles being written on this timeless piece.
Along with the trench, the pea coat is another piece that has resisted the grasps of time. Originally worn in the navy, the pea coat is characterised by wide lapels and it’s double-breasted nature. The coat has become a staple for many men and its popularity has only been heightened by the continuing military influences.
Often styling his with a set of grey jeans and a check shirt, Redmayne uses staple clothing to great effect. A black pea coat works exceptionally well for Redmayne as the colour compliments his (if you’ll forgive me) red mane, freckled features and skin tone. This also applies to his use of blue tones [see top row centre in lookbook] – the red and ginger tints of his complexion and hair again work perfectly and compliment the blue hues.

AW12 Fashion Trend Preview: Men’s Puffa Jackets


AW12 Fashion Trend Preview: Men’s Puffa Jackets

Introduction
As any wannabe sartorialist or religious fashion follower knows, the fashion seasons work in advance – so when we have blue skies and sun aplenty outside, fashion designers have already set their sights on what wares they can create and peddle come the winter months. Recently, I have decided to imitate the fashion greats and launch a series of articles detailing the upcoming trends and themes for autumn/winter 2012.
However, fear not, these articles are designed to showcase upcoming trends with a spring/summer 2012 twist – so you can start getting involved ahead of the trend and become the forward-thinking fashion visionaries you really are. One of the most important (and necessary) items of clothing for any autumn/winter period is a good coat – and it seems one of the most popular outerwear trends for AW12 is the puffa coat/jacket.
The Puffa Jacket/Coat On The Catwalk
I must admit that in the past I haven’t been a big fan of puffa jackets, as the shape tended to be too large, swamping the body in a very unflattering way. However, high fashion designers have put forward a bid to resurrect the puffa-style, with collections by Rick Owens, Lanvin, Balmain and DKNY all featuring puffa jackets at AW12 Fashion Weeks.

Moncler Gamme Bleu
One of the biggest AW12 advocates of puffa styling was Moncler Gamme Bleu, a brand which is stereotypically known for its puffa coats and jackets. Historically, Moncler was founded in 1952 as a company that manufactured high end puffa jackets and sportswear. Throughout the 50s and 60s, Moncler supplied clothing and equipment for several highly-publicised mountain-climbing expeditions, which were anchored by vital warmth-retaining puffa coats.
Based on these roots, Moncler is the obvious choice when considering a brand that could propel the puffa style back to the fashion forefront – and their A/W 2012 collection did not disappoint. Moncler Gamme Bleu took Formula 1 as the inspiration for the collection and every single outfit paraded down the catwalk contained an element of puffa-styling in some capacity.
This collection took puffa to the extreme, with the first outfits consisting of full-on puffa jumpsuits that would not look out of the ordinary in the Formula 1 pit. The collection also featured puffa-style shorts, trousers and even whole suits. In terms of outerwear, there were floor length puffa coats and puffa-style double-breasted trenches in primary reds and yellows, along with sleeveless puffa gilets:

Viktor & Rolf / Band of Outsiders
At the more wearable end of the designer spectrum were fur-collared puffa parka jackets by Viktor and Rolf and puffa shearling collared jackets by Band of Outsiders. Band of Outsiders also included hooded puffa jackets in corduroy, and puffa scarves – which added an interesting dynamic to a standard accessory:

In The Fashion Press
In the fashion press, the puffa resurgence has not gone unnoticed. In their most recent issue, Esquire Magazine featured an impressive Moncler puffa coat in their style section and their current advertising campaign features a model wearing a white hooded puffa jacket cuddled up to 2 polar bears on an iceberg – clearly demonstrating the key selling point of a good puffa jacket: warmth.
Esquire online are also featuring the limited edition ‘Ocean Racer’ jacket by Henri Lloyd, describing it as ‘a practical yet stylish puffa jacket.’ On a more affordable level, Shortlist Magazine recently ran a feature on Marc Newson’s new G-Star collection, which includes a stylish puffa jacket with removable and reversible sleeves to maintain a sense of variety within a single garment.
At the more affordable end of the puffa jacket market, several high street brands have also released a range of puffa jackets, coats and gilets for the coming months:
