Young masters: the new way to do smart tailoring

Young masters: the new way to do smart tailoring

Down at the National Portrait Gallery, we herald the new way of dressing for a night out

Words: Zak Maoui

For our winter issue (on newsstands now) we delved deep into the National Portrait Gallery, London's premiere gallery that is usually kept under lock and key, in the dead of night to shoot a story that explores a new way of dressing for nightfall. Suits are deconstructed, denim is paired with unstructured blazers, ties are optional and coats are a must.

Below, take a look at our latest shoot from the pages of Gentleman's Journal, and feel inspired...
