It’s that time of year again, where the fashion world hits the trade shows to find the best brands, products and trends for the upcoming season. Last week, Ted showcased his A/W 2012 menswear collection at NYC’s premier menswear trade show, ENK at the Tunnel. The ENK NY Exhibition is a semi-annual menswear tradeshow in Chelsea, NYC where the fashion cognoscenti gather to dive into the latest men’s fashion trends.
From trapper hats to boots, Ted’s wholesale team showed off a true Ted-to-toe lifestyle collection. Featuring modern classics made to appeal to stylish, independent, career-oriented men, who appreciate attention-to-detail and quality, Ted’s collection was a great success. The fashion marketplace was abuzz about Ted’s “country wear with an urban flair” look – beautiful English heritage crafted in a contemporary manner for the trendy, urban woodsmen from Los Angeles to 5th Avenue.
Among the best pieces of the collection were sweaters, outerwear and accessories of which WWD’s Men’s Week sang praises: “[…] sweaters have been among the British brand’s strongest categories. Also trending well were its tailored sport coats in Donegal tweed or velvet, some with gold linings adorned with moose and elk patterns. The motif was apt, as “urban woodsman” was the theme of the fall collection, as seen in fake-fur trapper hats, cable-knit cardigans, textured wool-cotton shirts and a peacoat with classic leather football buttons.” (WWD)

To host the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles last night, Ricky Gervais donned a custom made Ted Baker suit for the occasion. The single breasted, one button suit in striking red, wool kid mohair, featured a black satin peak lapel, waistband and leg seam. As in all of Ted’s Phormal wear, Ricky’s jacket and waistcoat both featured a seasonal, silver jacquard lining.
Congratulations to Ricky from everyone at Ted, on another successful Golden Globe ceremony.

The Great Christmas Pudding Race that took place on the weekend was full of festive fun and frolics. 17 teams competed to win the title, including an 81 year old racer! The action-packed (but very messy) race raised an amazing £220,000 for Cancer Research.
Ted’s little helpers successfully completed the race, and although just missed out on winning, had a fantastic day.
