Trousers London, a friends London based premium jeanswear label has produced a new video to promote their work called ‘Denim Architects’.
Directed by one of the co founders Arturs Naumovs, they used a unique technique involving two Canon 5D cameras at slightly different angles to produce a very interesting 3D effect around the focal figure. The original soundtrack is also very well done.

Patrick Grant: How I Get Dressed from Chris Floyd on Vimeo.
Patrick Grant is a paragon of gentlemen. Pursuant to his completion of an MBA in British Heritage Luxury Brands at Oxford University in 2006, Grant bought and resurrected impoverished Savile Row tailors Norton & Sons. At a comparatively tender 35 years old, he currently wears the mantle of Saville Row’s youngest Guv’nor. Searingly marketable, as both businessman and sartorial ambassador, this clip find’s our man effusing about the process of getting dressed.
N.B. On a personal note, the older I get the more I find enjoyment in things being ‘just so’. Space, clothes, affairs, alcohol… Perhaps it’s a necessary antidote to the vicissitudes of hyper-connected city life. Either way, it is exactly this type of urbane pedantry that makes this clip so appealing to me.
