Following on from the success of previous very stylish menswear collections, Philip Start has developed a new range of menswear
clothes with relaxed and informal details for Spring/Summer 2012 for his label
Mr Start.
A less structured fit is introduced for the warmer weather,
in lightweight fabrics such as linen, cotton, and cotton/linen mix, creating a
softly tailored look. The double-breasted jacket remains a key style for
spring/summer and is updated in royal blue mohair. The palette includes khaki,
stone, sand, and indigo, complemented with an updated classic collection of
greys and blues. Shirts are all in slim fit and, whereas collarless shirts in
washed fabrics accompany the unstructured fit of the lighter weight suits, the
classic shirts gain subtle texture to create the look.
Philip and Brix Smith Start started their eponymous brand
‘Start’ in London’s Shoreditch in 2002. Initially, the couple’s original store
comprised both men’s and women’s wear with an emphasis on jeans. In 2004, the
womenswear range gained its own premises across the street and in 2008 Philip
set up his own men’s formalwear label, Mr Start. Specialising in tailored
suits, Mr Start now occupies its own store neighbouring the womenswear Start
store and has a representation of shirts and ties in London’s department store
Selfridges. Mr Start’s clothes can also be purchased online.
