Tigerprint Pattern Brief - Mens Fashion

Looking at vogue to get some of the latest mens fashion trends. I want to find the most iconic pieces of Mens fashion, alongside 21st century's approach to fashion, such as 'the feminine male'. I intend on finding a collection and illustrating a number of items to become a pattern. Firstly I am going to try and identify catagories of male fashion, and what kind of themes I could create from these. I want to stray away from the typical idea of what Male Fashion is.

Some themes I can think of for now:

Formal
Casual
Geometric
Preppy
1950's Prints
Classic
Bold colours
Summer
Winter
Festival
Holiday

Alternative (piercings / tattoos)
