This Sunday saw the collections of Alan Taylor, Bobby Abley and Craig Green take to the catwalk as part of MAN SS14, Fashion East and Topman’s start-up showcase.
We were blown away by what we saw. Very exciting to such amazing talent continuing to emerge from Fashion East.
See some of our favourite looks below.

French Fashion house have unveiled their flagship boutique on Bond Street, London. The 3 story building which took 15 months to create houses everything from Ready to wear, accessories and beauty.
The interior is the work of New York based architect Peter Marino, who has worked on Chanel boutiques worldwide.
Shamed designer and ex creative director at Dior is set to record an hour long television interview with US talk show host Charlie Rose. This will be the first time Galliano has spoken publicly since his anti-Senitic outburst at a fellow customer in a Parisian bar.
The interview is said to have been arranged by close friend of the designer, Oscar de la Renta, who has supported him throughout the ordeal. The hour long show should make for some interesting viewing, hold on to your hats. 
H&M have announced its latest design collaboration will be with Isabel Marant. The collection will feature women’s clothing and accessories for men, the first time Marant has developed a mens line.
Marant says of the collection ‘I aim to create something real, that women want to wear in their everyday lives, with a certain carelessness, which I think is very Parisian’.
We’re sure to be first in line to see the collection when it launched in stores November 14.
Our friends at Fashion East have named its menswear collections line up. This years line up will see Liam Hodges, Kit Neale, Joseph Turvey and Tom Ryling featured. The four designers will show at the talent scheme’s Menswear Installations event on June 18. They will join Meadham Kirchhoff and Marques’ Almeida launch menswear for the first time, also forming park of the collections will be the unveiling of Craig Green’s debut collection for footwear brand Purified.
Karl Lagerfeld’s new black and white stylistic piece, portraying Keira Knightley as Gabrielle Chanel, opening her first designer shop in the French seaside resort town of Deauville in 1913. A lovely short film in which Chanel is helped along by her aunt Adrienne — played by actress Clotilde Hemse as she caters to wealthy clients. The film marks a legendary 100 years for the French luxury brand.
As part of our continuing work for Royal Salute World Polo we were asked to create a polo jacket that could be gifted to very select VIP’s.
We strategically suggested that they collaborated with Patrick Grant of Norton & Sons who boast a long history of polo tailoring for the Royals. Egelnick and Webb Liaised Patrick and the Royal Salute team to oversee the design and production of the jackets. We also created bespoke labelling and crest elements for the jackets.
We art directed a shot showing the jackets being cut on Savile Row. The craftsmanship of the tailoring and the deep heritage of Saville Row echoed perfectly the fine craftmanship of Royal Salute Whisky.
The project was launched to press today.
OH MY !! How much do we love The Muppets vs Tommy Hilfiger!
Living legend Karl Largerfield has yet another project up his sleeve. This time he is collaborating with Fendi who will mount an exhibition of his photographs during Couture fashion week in July.
The exhibition entitled ‘The Glory of Water’ will focus on Lagerfield’s images of Rome’s fountains. If you fancy having a peek get yourself down to the Seine where the exhibition will be housed in domes alongside the Seine from 4-14th of July.
Always exciting to get things through the post, particularly if its music; and if you are of a certain age, even nicer if its vinyl. Vinyl Factory are a client of ours, we’re currently helping them take One, The Thames (formally Arundel Great Court) to market. They also, not surprisingly given the name, own a vinyl factory and put out hand-crafted collectible limited edition premium vinyl as well as prints and publications.
Christian Marclay is best known for his music related artworks. I first came across him at White Cube Gallery which was showing Video Quartet (2002), a large, four-screen projection featuring hundreds of clips from old Hollywood films, with actors and musicians making sound or playing instruments. The Barbican had a major retrospective of his work a year or two later. He has collaborated with Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, which further explains my interest.
Stitching together sound and image to create hybrid pieces of audio and visual art that defies easy classification, Marclay has been described by The New Yorker as “the most exciting collagist since Robert Rauschenberg” (OK, more obvious interest).
A pioneer in the art of tampering with vinyl, Groove was recorded in New York City by running multiple layers of the same 7? single through a basic 8-track recorder and applying stickers directly on the groove so that the needle would skip and repeat. Limited to only 300 copies, the first hundred copies were hand-signed and numbered by Marclay himself, but sadly I missed out on that.
