Hailing from the Southend, These New Puritans provided the soundtrack for Dior Homme's Fall 2007, Winter 2008 Collection (visit Dior Homme to Listen). Consisting of Jack Barnett (vocals, guitar, computer, sound), his twin brother George Barnett (drums, tapes, percussion), Tomas Hein (bass guitar, sampler, backing vocals, percussion) and Sophie Sleigh-Johnson (synthesizers), These New Puritan mix indie with samplers and electronic experimental sounds.

Dior Homme Fall-Winter 2007 . 2008 Mens Paris 'Runway Slideshow'

With designers in Milan and Paris cloning his super skinny silhouette , Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane said goodbye to skinny, for a new silhouette. For Fall 2007. Winter 2008 Hedi Slimane sees the Dior Homme boy in dropped- crotch pants, and three-button jackets for a thin silhouette

"I changed the silhouette - tight at the top, but the sarouel pants," Slimane said backstage.

What ever you do for Fall 2007. Winter 2008 please say NO to sarouel pants.

As CATHY HORYN for NYT points out, Hedi Slimane's collection for Dior Homme moved neither forward nor backward, with Slimane still negotiating with Dior's parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton for the renewal of his contract, this collection is an interesting side step, that should keep Dior Homme's new flock happy.

Hedi Slimane offered sleek and tailored coats ( there was geometric metallic stitching, and one with beads reports Style.com), paired with sweater sleeves covering wrist and hands.

Hedi Slimane refined his suit, shortening the leg and wearing them with Doc Martens styled shoes.

And for the first time (that I have seen) Hedi Slimane used a Black Male Model, to some rave reviews and some indifference on the popular fashion community, thefashionspot.com.

Slimane, also put the band - These New Purtians in the spotlight.
