British menswear Kent Curwen announces the opening of its first concept store in Paragon SingaporeIt is hard to deny a British Accent, especially if it comes in the form of Tom Hiddleston (Loki, anyone?) or Colin Firth’s recent swoon-worthy role in The Kingsmen. Another thing they have in common is that quintessential Gentleman style that drives ladies crazy, and riddle men with envy.
This spring, instead of booking a flight to London, one can visit British menswear brand Kent & Curwen’s first concept store at Paragon. If the name sounds new to you, its look and classic gentleman style should be a familiar sight. From its beginnings in 1926, where they supplied club and college ties to universities of Oxford and Cambridge, introduced the iconic cricket sweater, it has taken on a bolder and colourful club style that became ubiquitous in Harrods and Savile Row. It has also dressed the likes of HRH the Prince of Wales, Micheal Caine (the one and only Alfred) and Sean Connery.
Kurt Curwen SpringSummer 2015 collection by Simon Spurr captures the bold essence of the Front Man a restless character with a distinctive and unapologetic styleThis decades-old tradition has recently came under the creative direction of famed designer Simon Spurr (of Ralph Lauren Purple and Black Label), who has reinvigorated the sports heritage brand with eclectic graphic patterns – sort of a rock star Mick Jagger swag into the whole mix for the new Spring/Summer 2015 collection available in-store. It is still English, but with a fusion of modern drama to create that instantaneous energy and attitude to the wearer – luxe, yet cool.
The new collection brings an attitude to traditional British Menswear with its play on texturesSimon Spurr has done the brand an incredible right, by following the ever-evolving needs of to-be gentlemen of taste. Out on business, a lunch date, a drive through the city to pick up a cuppa, or even, for the red carpet like James Marsden, Kent & Curwen has not disappoint.
Kent & Curwen is located at #01-26A Paragon, 290 Orchard Road, Singapore 238859. They are open daily from 10.00AM to 0900PM.
