What Are We Looking For?

1. We want you to reveal yourself through your clothes and those things that you love with respect to menswear. 
2. We will reward ingenuity in both photography and lighting conditions. So think about how you wish to display your neckwear and in what light and in which setting. The best portraits we have received in the past are ones which show the person's style as well as the culture from which they come from.
3. Use a decent quality camera, grainy, distorted or pixelated photos will not be accepted.
4. Let us see things we may not have seen before - those items that might be particular to you personally - a suit you had cut, a shirt you had made, some shoes you polished etc.
