Charity One For the Boys hosted a gala on the sidelines of
London's menswear fashion week on Friday night under the helm of
Hollywood actors Samuel L. Jackson and Stanley Tucci.
"Pulp Fiction" star Jackson led male celebrities such as actor
Luke Wilson, Cooper and Gandy down a catwalk at London's
Roundhouse for a fashion show mixing both British and
international designs.
The charity, chaired by Jackson, looks to provide men with the
information to see the warning signs for cancer and fight the
disease. It was founded in 2012 by the actor's publicist Sofia
Davis to commemorate a friend who died from cancer.
"It's private stuff and it's not easy for anyone to talk about
these issues, not only for guys but for women as well," Formula
One driver Lewis Hamilton said on the event's blue carpet. "It's
important that we encourage people to be more open about
things."
London kicked off its menswear fashion week on Friday. The
London Collections Men, now in its seventh edition, mixes top
designer labels such as Burberry, Alexander McQueen and Tom
Ford, Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes and Hardy Amies and
high street brands like Topman.
London is eyeing itself as a leading menswear fashion capital
over Paris, Milan and New York with more and more retailers
turning their attention to men's clothes and accessories.
London Collections Men runs until June 15.
