Anyone in the mood to lighten up their wardrobe with some retro-themed apparel will definitely want to check out the Harrods May 2013 photo shoot called 'Chinatown,' featuring debonair models in chic gangster suits with a retro flair.
The sleek photo shoot is inspired by 1930s apparel, including such attire as two-piece suits, tailored ensembles, fedoras and slicked back hairstyles. These classically retro menswear styles are enhanced even more with the use of sophisticated clothing pieces from such well-known designers as Valentino, Vivienne Westwood, Prada, Alexander McQueen and Dolce & Gabbana.
Incorporating black and white photographs into the collection of shots serves to give this photo shoot an even more authentically retro appeal, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance to the menswear line. If you want to take a step back in time to experience what it was like in the 1930s, then this 'Chinatown' menswear shoot is just for you.
