Colour-blocking, a force to reckon with in menswear at the moment. Just think Jil Sander, Prada and even local designers such as Orri Henrisson who are making the statement that bold colours can exist in the Sydney man’s wardrobe. And why not?! Colour is genderless – it always has been. More importantly colour is about expressing one’s self – a statement to the world about who you are. So hue are you?

Winter is a time for the most delectable colours to emerge – of fireplaces and berry preserves, of mulberry and strawberry jams; orange marmalade; honey with cinnamon sticks and currents and gooseberries. So as the days grow colder, and before you grab the black coat and navy scarf, why not consider embracing the colours of the winter season?

The look is all about being at one with nature, with the wearer looking as if they have just stepped out of a forest. Think neutral tones, lots of layers, baggy cuts, embroidery and fringing. The trend has even spawned mutations with the new Swamp Girl look (Numa Gyaru) becoming popular for girls who enjoy the Mori Gyaru style but for all the wrong reasons. Here is part one of our look inspired by the Numa Guyaru manifesto as posted on Mixi (Japanese social networking site)
