Mood Board: Patrick Grant's E Tautz runway return looked to Britain's 1950s post austerity leisurewear boom. Grant's been working with the era's roomy, pin tucked trousers (that inevitably remind you of grandpa's high-waisted, cuffed tweeds) for a while now, and this season he cut them in raw denim, cotton and gingham and teamed them back with 4-pocketed jerkin and zip up safari jackets to retro-tinged sartorial effect.
Best in show: In the spirit of progressiveness, just as post war leisurewear embraced a new range of material technologies (then coloured dyestuffs and manmade fibres), Grant has also re-spun the time's classic gingham in silk and mohair for his slim-line Bermudas and casual suiting.
Finishing touches: Given the abbreviated hems of summer's high-waisted trousers, black socks and white plimsolls filled the gap and completed Grant's nouveau Teddy Boy.
