Brighton Peer is Up and Running

Brighton Peer Men's Clothing

Taking cues from some of the great periods in fashion, over the last sixty years, from late 50's Jazz icons, early 60's Modernists, up to the work-wear and denim brands of today. Brighton Peer takes a look at men's fashion as it was and how it should be, keeping an eye out for quality over trend, bringing together all past influences to bring about something that has a good foot hold in the past but doesn't mind taking a brave step into the future.

To me there was never anybody cooler than the early RnB artists of the Sixties and the Modern Jazz movement of the late 50's, oozing style from underneath their clean, crisp cut suits it was a smart but gritty style that lifted them off the streets and on to the stage. Come forward 60's years and we are in a quagmire of cheap, nasty clothes and 1 minute fashion hits, people's imagination and creativity have had to battle with what they can scrape together from trips to the Mega-Mall or Shopping centre, but over these last ten years the internet has shown that sub-cultures and like minded people can work outside the realm of popular convention and with blogs and forums we can all lead a path out of the terror that is the mainstream, and look back to the times of quality, talent and charisma, and live our lives to those ethics..

Over the coming months I'll be looking at vintage brands, new and adventurous labels, and discussing where I think men's clothing should and could be going..... Hopefully you'll all join me and we'll all come out of it a lot better than when we started.
