The masculine appeal of the Ted Baker Menswear F/W 2012 campaign is enhanced by its focus on the British countryside.
Tailoring and utility seem to be the focus of this fall season's menswear. The emphasis on quality is seen with the Glasgow-founded company's collection. With its British roots, the designs featured pride themselves on quality craftsmanship and impeccable tailoring.
The layered blazers in tweed and fitted pants give the classic laid back look of the countryside a robust update. Whilst the model exudes a casually smart confidence, the imagery is complimented by the picturesque landscapes and greenery. With a palette of burnt oranges, plums and neutrals, the pieces in this collection have the potential to be staples for fashion-conscious gentlemen.
