Some serious colour matching going on here, and whatever your tastes with the shoes and scarf, mid-grey does look great with purple.
The gentleman pictured here and captured last week by our roving photographer is Michael Whitby-Grubb, who is launching a luxury shirting and accessories brand, Penrose London. The former Aquascutum international wholesale manager, Michael is starting the company with Duchamp founder Mitchell Jacobs.

The debut range for Autumn 09 is a contemporary take on vintage elegance, with only subtle branding and colour palettes and the focus on subtle but luxurious woven patterns. More pointed Milan collars and higher London collars feature as well as a button or French cuff styles.
