He wears it well... Men's London Fashion week hits London

But then, suddenly, everything changed. Walk around the capital now and it?s hard not be impressed ? as well as entertained. For not only have British men smartened up, they?ve done so in a way that is neither formulaic nor predictable; each of London?s postcodes has its own particular look, whether it?s the Hackney Hipsters, Clerkenwell Creatives or West London Jetsetters. And all of them, in their own unique way, look pretty damn good.

This is one of the many reasons why this week sees the launch of the first ever London men?s fashion week: for three days from tomorrow, the capital will host a packed schedule of fashion shows, exhibitions, events and parties showcasing the best menswear talent the country has to offer to a multitude of buyers and press from across the globe. Prince Charles is kicking it all off with a party at St James?s Palace, Tom Ford is hosting a dinner in Mayfair, both Esquire and GQ magazines are throwing celeb-packed parties over the weekend, and there are dozens of fashion shows parading the talent of the country?s most innovative young designers and most esteemed Savile Row tailors.

Menswear is big business and, as an industry, is growing at an unfathomably fast rate despite a turbulent economy. Last year, according to figures from the NPD Group, men?s clothing sales were up four per cent on 2010 to $55.71?billion (?36?billion). Not a number to be sniffed at; and tailored clothing, in particular, saw sales rise 26 per cent in the 12 months ending this February. So how come, when many of the world?s economies are in tatters, men are spending more and looking better? Ironically, it is, I believe, the economic meltdown in 2008 that first led to us all pulling our sartorial socks up.

First, when jobs are short and unemployment queues long, we all try harder to look fit for purpose. It makes sense to invest some time and money in looking younger, fitter and smarter: and a good piece of clothing, especially a suit, ticks all the boxes. A well-chosen item of tailoring hides bumps and lumps, straightens backs and adds confidence: it?s the perfect battledress (look at the way the double-breasted suit has come back into fashion).

Secondly, after witnessing the turmoil that an industry that chose to break the rules, ignore convention and put greed over good sense caused us back in 2008, many of us looked to the past not only for comfort but for guidance. Rules and convention suddenly seemed attractive once more ? of course, the rules could be given a twist, updated even, but not totally ignored. And this approach affected how we looked at everything from banking practices to the way we dressed. A whole new generation suddenly paid attention, and found inspiration in how their fathers or grandparents dressed: we saw the return of bow ties, waistcoats, tweed jackets, flannel trousers, traditional brogues and even velvet slippers (one of the hottest shoe trends this coming autumn). Twentysomethings in Dalston kicked off the trend by bringing back these classic items and mixing them up with skinny jeans, hats and even moustaches, and soon this trend spread across the country and even overseas. Head to a fashion show venue in any major city today and you?re far more likely to be surrounded by a sea of men in tie pins and pocket squares than dropcrotch pants and hi-tops.

Another reason for a nation of better-dressed men is the internet. The web has allowed men to research, discover, learn and evaluate dress codes and trends from all over the world. At the touch of a button you can look at a street style blog and see what men in Paris, Sydney or San Francisco are wearing that week, you can Google ?seersucker? and instantly find out what it means and how best to wear it, you can visit thousands of fashion websites, blogs and forums and seek the answer to the most obscure sartorial conundrums, you can check out what today?s celebrities wore on last night?s red carpet and discover that a blue tux is currently more fashionable than a black one. You can ask anything you want and, the best thing about it is, no one need know. Men fear getting something wrong and being ridiculed, and now, thanks to the internet, that need never happen. You can learn everything you need to know, in an instant, anonymously. And with online fashion stores you can then buy something you like, having studied it at leisure from your armchair, and try it on in the comfort of your own home without the pressure of a sales assistant standing outside the changing room asking you whether you like it or not. Shopping for men has become less a task and more a pleasure.

These are the reasons why as the world?s tastemakers land on our shores for the first ever London Collections: Men tomorrow they won?t need to flinch behind their Cutler and Gross sunglasses. Gone are the shiny slacks, the ill-fitting suits and the pointy shoes. We?ve become once more, after a rocky decade or two, a nation of snappy dressers; one that is influencing the way men dress all over the world.

HK stock exchange makes $2.2 billion offer for LME

HONG KONG (AP) ? Hong Kong's stock exchange operator said Friday it has agreed to buy the 135-year-old London Metal Exchange for 1.4 billion pounds ($2.2 billion) as it shifts into commodities to capitalize on Chinese demand.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. said it has signed an agreement with the LME, the world's largest metals market, to pay 107.60 pounds for each of its 12.9 million shares. The LME's board plans to recommend shareholders accept the offer at a meeting expected before the end of July.

The Hong Kong bourse's offer follows plans announced earlier this year to expand into commodities, marking a major move away from its slow-growing equities business.

Hong Kong Exchanges said the LME has yet to "realize fully the growth opportunity" in Asia, especially China, and the deal would provide a platform for "significant revenue growth" as LME expands its business and operations in the region.

The exchange has "identified particular demand for commodities trading, focused around metals, to support the large and growing metals consumption in Asia, and particularly, China," it said in a statement.

China has a near insatiable appetite for metals, fueled by its booming economy's demand for everything from cars to computers to skyscrapers.

Earlier this year, Hong Kong Exchanges' CEO Charles Li said the exchange wanted to move quickly to come up with new products that would capture China's strong demand for commodities before international and mainland Chinese players develop their own.

Hong Kong is a semiautonomous region of China with its own currency and legal system.

The LME hosts trading of futures and options contracts for aluminum, copper, nickel, zinc and other metals worth, on average, $61 billion a day or $15.4 trillion annually. It's the last open-outcry exchange in Europe, where deals are made by traders huddling together on a trading floor and calling out prices, rather than electronically.

The LME also operates warehouses around the world to store the actual metal that backs the contracts traded on its market. A deal with the Hong Kong exchange could pave the way to setting up storage sites in China.

The Hong Kong exchange will use cash and new bank facilities of at least 1.1 billion pounds to finance the purchase.

The takeover also needs approval from Hong Kong Exchange's shareholders and British regulators. It's expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Nokia patent filing uses steering wheel touch for media controls, turns your radio on with that lovin' feeling

Nokia has only ever had a fleeting involvement with cars, but if it brings a just-published patent application to fruition, the Lumia maker could be front and center for drivers. The technology it wants would detect vibrations in the steering wheel to let the driver control music, GPS and other components of the car's center stack just by touching particular spots on the wheel itself -- no overabundance of buttons here. Underneath, it would use temporal sensing to register input, and filtering would prevent the wheel from interpreting speed bumps as cues to turn on the stereo. Nokia's mobile know-how mostly comes into play through the option of using a mobile device like a smartphone to handle tasks rather than having to build something directly into the wheel. Given that the company is currently cutting everything back, it's more likely to license the patent out rather than trying to build anything itself, if anything happens at all. Should the patent eventually come to use, you could end up tenderly caressing the wheel for all your in-car media controls... just be sure to buy it some chocolate and roses first.
