Harvey Nichols menswear line-up directional

With an ear to the ground that picks up even the faintest fashion rumblings, Harvey Nichols menswear is bringing some great new labels to town this Autumn, to add to its established fold that covers all bases from Kilgour to Kiminori Morishita.

Those looking to catch on to the next big thing in tailoring should consider a once very traditional label with a new lease of life. New to their stores for Autumn is Hardy Amies (couturier to HRH The Queen no less). The house has produced a dapper collection of suits, shirts and silk ties with modern, elegant cuts and an undercurrent of cool that should assure success with a new young gentleman.

Hot on their rails is also Alexander McQueen's brand new diffusion collection, McQ. Look out for rebellious styles influenced by teenagers and biker gangs - plaid trenches, sheepskin-lined denim and scorpion emblazoned knitwear. Danish label Nerve is new this Autumn and getting hotter by the minute. A super-skinny silhouette of slender pants, slim-lapel tailoring and fine-gauge knits is already being picked up by the indie band brigade. Harvey Nichols in the UK has stores in London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Dublin.
