Through the lens of four emerging taste-makers – each dressed in one of the Private Labels – the ‘Private Views’ series explores originality and artistic flare, delving into and navigating through the unique lives of these young creative’s and identifying the original ways in which they approach style.

He also flaunts a zip-through shirt in khaki in addition to a longline crepe duster coat teamed with a crisp white shirt giving a more formal look, showing how transitional and interchangeable the garments for this season are.
