Maniere De Voir




MDV, Maniere De Voir. Whatever you want to call them this new UK based street wear brand is taking the market by storm.

Recently, I've become obsessed with the new(er) brand MDV, the brand mainly aims to produce good quality street wear garments and footwear at very competitive prices. I started to learn about the brand a year ago; back then they were producing items such as their infamous velour track suits and snakeskin t-shirts. I saw some of my friends wearing some of their clothes and thought i'd look into it more, now I'm not much of a 'hype beast' I like to wear what I like but their clothes seemed to intrigue me for some reason. However I didn't end up buying any of their products until several months later.

As the brand started to progress it became more apparent in the direction that they were going in. As they continued to produce their velour tracksuits and snake skin t-shirts, they started producing other items, more street wear aimed items. My first ever purchase from MDV was a big one and I threw my self in at the deep end with their range to really get the feel with their quality. I ended up buying their sneaker named the 'virtue' in an all blood red colour way for £120. I was very satisfied with the quality, presentation, looks and over all aesthetics of the shoe, and so It began the 'hook'.


After that I ended up spending lots of time scouring their website and looking at their products more in depth. Since then I have bought a variety of products including the highly recommended Khaki Fight Jacket, Ribbed Biker Denim (black + khaki), Pony Fur Backpack, Snake Embossed Cap, Hoodie, Ripped Biker Denim and the list goes on. I would defiantly recommend looking into the brand and buying some of their products. They are very decently priced and the quality is better that what you'd find on the high street.



Now that I know the brand, it has become even more apparent in where they are turning to next. The extremely well known and talked about fashion icon Mr Kanye West recently dropped his Yeezy Season 1 and shops have gone crazy in recreating his garments at a more affordable price. However staying true to form MDV have attempted this differently. While the ripped t-shirts and distressed jeans stay true, MDV have added their own little tweaks to things to really make their products stand out amongst the crowd, an example of this is their 'swashbuckle jean'. Not going into too much detail, but you can see they are following the trends closely, the leg zippers and the distressing as well as adding a crazy buckle on the leg is only something MDV could pull off in their unique way, then theres the full velcro Jeans and the array of Biker Jackets they offer. I could go on. Even their full velvet virtue sneakers and strangely intriguing. 

But anyway make sure you go and check them out at:

P.S you can find the (now not produced) blood red virtue sneakers on my Depop in a Uk 7 as they fit very big, almost new condition, message me if your interested.

C'aio.

Hey! Welcome back, I know its late but I've been extremely busy recently. However a new outfit post will be up on Wednesday so keep your eyes peeled for that! Also I have a few brand reviews and recommendations to vary the blog up slightly from just OTTDs. Now back to the outfit, its a simple one and as AW15 gets under way, simpler outfits is what ill be wearing a lot more. Ive always loved a simple outfit because less can mean more in fashion, a clean outfit consisting of a few layers on top and some jeans can look a lot better than lots of tops, jackets and coats pilled on top of each other (I'm not saying those outfits are bad). This outfit in particular relates back to my old friend the colour black. The main piece I focused on was the sneakers. Now I know people aren't very fond of these, but I am! and I really wanted to show case them and expose their diversity on a maximum level through this outfit. The simple black upper and lower of the outfit blends seamlessly into everyday life until you get to the loud and bold sneakers. As I've said in many an outfit Im wearing non other than the trusty Ribbed Biker Jeans from MDV and black super longline t-shirt from Asos. Ive really become a custom to biker jeans and they add a great lease of life and difference to anyone's jean department, you can find them in any high street shop from H&M to Forever21 Men. So that wraps it up for this outfit post but check back on Wednesday for a new one and ill tell you when brand reviews and other new blog posts will be coming (not just OOTDs). Oh yeh, I have a tips and tricks to share with you in the future as well regarding fashion! I'll keep you updated.
C'ya in a few days.

Greg.

Outfit Of The Day - Noir Ninja

Asymmetric Longline Jacket - H&M / £15

Masa Racer Low Triple Black Sneakers - Adidas Y3 / £240


-----------------------------------

Hi guys, welcome to the latest and greatest. This blog post is of a dark and almost assassin like outfit shot in a overgrown and rustic area of a mill I live near. Before you say it I will be doing more urban shoots very soon and I'm excited to get that into motion It just takes me time to get to my nearest city of Manchester and gather my photographer, but I will do it I promise!. So, I always rely on black as a basis for outfits however on this one I really wanted the full stealth look. The very oversized and assassin looking jacket from H&M is a great piece at a very affordable price and adds some different shapes and dynamics to the outfit with its curvy lines and edges. Coupled up with the amazingly comfortable Airtel shorts from MDV and the timeless leggings via Asos the outfit is all very sleek. Finally with the infamous Y3s I own it completely topped off the ninja style look very well. I really feel my blog is beginning to blossom now and any help you can give is appreciated more than I can put into words, if you like what I'm doing drop me a shout out on Instagram! Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more to come! Bye.

Greg.

Outfit Of The Day - Cooking Up

Photography: Charlotte Traverse

Base Layer Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £14
White Chef T-shirt - Chelfldn / £45
Shorts - Pyrex Vision / Not Available
Meggings - Asos / £12
Metal Plaque Snake Embossed Cap - Maniére De Voir / £20
Retro 5 Metallic Silver Sneakers - Jordan / £140


-----------------------------------

Hello and welcome back, I apologise for this late post on this outfit but I have lots of outfits lined up for you guys. This outfit is what I like to look at as being the typical concept of urban streetwear (just my opinion). The outfit is a blend of visible brands. I tend not to wear clothes with brands plastered all over them but I really like the new 'zion' capsule from the newly rebranded Chefldn, and had to buy one of their new t-shirts on one of my trips to Selfridges! Very comfortable and premium materials, I highly advise!. The shorts as you may know are from the infamous (now deceased) Pyrex Vision. These shorts are an icon in themselves and if you know the brand you'll know who's given them the reputation they have today. As for the base t-shirt and meggings they are simply from Asos. I really love Asos their huge variety and affordable pricing is very enticing so go and look if haven't already theres something for everybody. Finally to top of the outfit the Jordan Retro 5s in the smart 'metallic silver' colour way. An iconic sneaker in an extremely clean re mastered colour-way. Thanks for reading and the next post will be up tomorrow! So make sure your ready for that. Tell me what you think about this style. Ciao


Greg.

Outfit Of The Day - Can Red Be Relaxed?

Photography: Aaron Haigh

Shirt - H&M / £10
Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £14
Skinny Tracksuit Bottoms w/ Drop Crotch - Topman / £24
Chuck Taylor Play Sneakers - Comme De Garçons X Converse / £85


-----------------------------------

This was a late one and I apologise for that haha, but anyway todays outfit was a really simple one and one that I wanted to be really comfortable in. Instead of the usual skinny jeans I opted for some skinny trackies instead, not only does it make it really nice to shoot in, but it adds some variety to the outfit, with different looks and textures to work around. The return of the checked shirt also appeared, I used this as I really wanted to use my CDG X Converse Chuck Taylor, these minimalistic sneakers are great and so much more comfortable than I expected up there with some air max in my opinion, and thats what this outfit was based about, comfortability. The outfits toped off with a simple off white t-shirt from Asos which I cant get enough off! Tell me what you think about it and if you haven't come from my Instagram page then make sure you go and check it out, maybe give it a follow! IG - originxl.grvg

See'ya

Outfit Of The Day - Playful Hearts

(D.I.Y Distressed) Denim Skinny Jeans - Topman / £30
Lanyard - Represent Clothing / £20

-----------------------------------

Hi welcome back to another post! I know I only posted yesterday but due to not uploading in a while I thought Id try and make up for it. Upload is on time as promised haha. So trying to shoot todays outfit was more difficult than I anticipated, to start off with I set off with my photographer Charlotte to get something to eat before the shoot only to find that Id forgotten my SD card for my camera when we reached the shooting spot! So I insisted we returned to get it and come back and complete the shoot, I wasn't going to disappoint you by leaving it to another day. So this blog post has been done as speedily as possible to publish on time! Now to the outfit Ive previously used this outfit in a shoot and absolutely love it, the strange sort of off white, creamy beige kind of look it gives off is strange but appealing in my opinion. I paired it with some distressed blue denims for a change instead of black and with my beloved CDG x Converse sneakers which I don't wear as much as I should If im honest. Finally to give the outfit some diversity I used the striped t-shirt with stepped hem (that really is very stepped!) from Asos. I think the outfit really works and is something different. Tell me what you think. C'ya.

Outfit Of The Day - Check Mate

Photography: Lewis Finnigan

Off White Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £14
Checked Shirt - Topman / £30
(D.I.Y Super Distressed) Black Skinny Jeans - Topman / £30
Metal Plaque Snake Embossed Cap - Maniére De Voir / £20
Lanyard - Represent Clothing / £25
Triangle Low Cut Sneakers - Filling Pieces - / £160


-----------------------------------

Before I get into todays post i'd like to apologise for being so inactive recently. Ive been struggling to find time to get some decent pictures and the weather work with me at the times I have any availability. Anyway I should be getting a schedule soon saying when ill post. I digress, hey so how are you doing? Todays outfit was one i'd wanted to throw together for a while. In my wardrobe I do have a substantial amount of blacks, whites and greys and thought it would look cool putting them all together. I tried to balance a similar amount of each colour through each piece of attire. The central piece is definitely the checked shirt I bought form Topman. It makes any outfit pop and especially when put on a clean canvas with blacks and or whites. The filling pieces are also an amazing shoe, not as well known as many brands but are really starting to pick up speed now. They are a great 'entry level' high end shoe and in my opinion for the price. Its astonishing the amount of craftsmanship than has gone into producing the shoes. I dare say it the leather is border line Balenciaga territory and thats for half the price!. Anyway, I know this post went up a tad later than I said it would and im sorry for that I made a little longer for you, haha. Thanks for reading and make sure you follow me on social media for more updates on blog posts and outfits etc. Bye :)

Outfit Of The Day - Cookies & Cream

Photography: Aaron Haigh

Stone Bomber Jacket - Asos / £38
Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £14
Ribbed Biker Denim - Maniére De Voir / £43
Metal Plaque Snake Embossed Cap - Maniére De Voir / £20
Lanyard - Represent Clothing / £25
Qasa Racer Low Triple Black Sneakers - Adidas Y3 / £240


-----------------------------------

I know I only posted yesterday as well, but I was in central Manchester today and had my camera on me so me and my friend decided to do a little exploring and find a quiet spot to do some outfit shots. The outfit was a mix of black, cream and off white. I personally feel the beiges, creams and off whites are actually quite under rated colours so I decided to wear them today. The bomber jacket's colour is really called 'Stone' which I was skeptical towards the look when I first received the jacket however it has grown on me and I really enjoy its diverse look now. I also broke out my Y3 Qasa Racer Low sneakers after a few months in their box and its reminded me of their amazing quality and unique 'ninja style' look, especially in their triple black colour way which I haven't seen anyone else in to date. Any way tell me what you think about it, have a good last of your weekend :)

Outfit Of The Day - Shredded

Photography: Charlotte Traverse

Wide Brim Fedora Hat - Asos / £20
Black Quilted Bomber Jacket - Topman / £30
Black/Grey Stripe Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £16
Black Longline T-shirt - Asos / £13
(D.I.Y Super Distressed) Black Skinny Jeans - Topman / £30
Lanyard - Represent Clothing / £25
Urban Peak Superstar Supercolor Sneakers - Adidas / £67


-----------------------------------

Hi guys, hows your weekend going? This outfit was a bit of a rustic, layering, distressed combo I threw together. I thought It worked well the mixes of black, grey and green on the similarly distressed background of the stone wall. It was getting dark and I had no battery so these shots were really quickly done but I think they turned out really well even with the lower lighting. I just got these Adidas Superstars in this amazing grey/khaki colour way when I was on holiday in Portugal. I really wanted the sand colour way but found these and decided I wanted them straight away haha, even after they released a while ago and have sold out everywhere. Thanks for looking, thoughts?

Outfit Of The Day - Red To Toe

Photography: Charlotte Traverse

 Shirt - H&M / £10
Super Longline T-shirt - Asos / £14
Shorts w/ Meggings - Asos / £30
Lanyard - Represent Clothing / £25
Metal Plaque Snake Embossed Cap - Maniére De Voir / £20
Virtue Blood Red Sneakers - Maniére De Voir / £120 (Discontinued)


-----------------------------------

Hey guys hows it going? Todays outfit was quite a bright one, I wore my black and red checked shirt from H&M on a plain black shirt to really expose the boldness of the red. I also decided to use my virtue sneakers from Maniére De Voir in that bright 'blood red' on my black shorts w/ meggings from Asos. Shot in more of a suburban location I feel that this outfit really contrasts its background. There was also a slight wind so I tried my best to stop my shirt from flying all over the place. Let me know what you think! :)

Outfit Of The Day - Double Olive


Photography: Charlotte Traverse

Khaki Flight Jacket - Maniére De Voir / £56
Super Long Line T-shirt - Asos / £14
Khaki Biker Denim - Maniére De Voir / £43
Metal Plaque Snake Embossed Cap - Maniére De Voir / £20
Superstar Jeremy Scott Edition Sneakers - Adidas / £145
-----------------------------------

Me and my friend Charlotte ventured into this abandoned mill near where we live in Delph to get these shots of my outfit. The visuals of olive and white work together quite well in my opinion. It was quite a warm day today but the flight jacket by Maniére De Voir is a good item to keep you cool but add some real depth to your outfit, paired with the khaki denim it really pops on the white. What do you think? - Have a good remainder of your weekend. 

Greg.
