Bless is a fashion company based in Germany, they have been using some our Dashing Tweed fabrics for the last couple of years.

We absolutely love their new collection, and thanks to 032c magazine N°24, for sending through one of their images from their recent photo shoot.

Their collections are a great juxtaposition of fabrics, shapes and style, we are really looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.

Continuing our adventures and advancements in fabric design, we bring you a complete summer collection inspired by the Grand Tour.

Traditionally any young English gentleman of standing and culture would travel throughout Europe to round off his classical education. He would study art and architecture from the ruins of Rome to the delights of Venice, immersng himself in beauties of every kind. If adventurous, the young explorer would head east through the gateway of Constantinople and come home with tale of exquisite escapades.

We have embodied the grand tourist this season and created the perfect fabrics to wear on your own romantic wanderings.

New ready to wear and accessories collection coming soon too.

Just back from the huge success which is the Artist Rebel Dandy show curated by Kate Irvin and Laurie Anne Brewer at the Rhode Island School of Design museum.

Artist Rebel Dandy is the mecca for anyone interested in the history of mens dress and style, I cannot eulogise enough about what a fabulous exhibition Kate and Laurie have put together. Dashing Tweeds is in splendid company with treasure such as Prince Regents checked suits and gowns, Fred Astaire's tails, Oscar Wildes shirts, Malcom Maclaren's bondage jacket and outfits straight of the backs of currrent dandies including Patrick McDonald and John Waters.

Of course every exquisite exhibition needs a equally splendid gala opening and this was no exception. A plumage of New York dandies attended the evening including the most amusing Hamish Bowles, Andre Leon Tally, Poggy, Ignacio Quiles, Nathaniel Adams and Derrick Miller to name a few.

 Welsh and Jefferies' newly refurbished shop has been turning the heads of gentleman sauntering down Savile Row recently and in part due to the fabulous window display. The beautifully tailored double breasted jacket in Regents Park check certainly catches the eye.

A most elegant shoulder line and the double vents allow for wonderful waisting.

Our new Black and White basket has just arrived. Inspired by a 1970's piece of cloth seen in Harris, Dashing Tweeds wanted to make it more dashing by increasing the scale. This is also a development on from our other Black and Blue basket designs, which have been very popular.
