Men's brooches: from dandy to edgy
Written by Daniel P Dykes
When I wrote of men's brooches as an increasingly prevalent men's fashion trend I made one unfortunate mistake: I labelled them a dandy accessory. Talk about selling the trend short; straight from The Sartorialist we take the concept left of centre; a safety-pin; throw in an earring and a dash of nail polish, and the trend goes from dandy to eff off cool.
That particular bit of street style comes from Stockholm during Stockholm Fashion Week.

Traditionalist and futurist are two of the labels applied to Daniel, but he sees the two as being in perfect balance. With a keen eye on the future and his finger on the pulse he helps keep fashionisers everywhere ahead in the fashion stakes as Fashionising.com's lead fashion trend analyst. Believing that the late-2000s credit crisis will be ultimately good for fashion, Daniel sees a future for fashion where grounded in traditional values; where luxury fashion again comes to represent quality production as opposed to being solely label driven.
