Throughout history there have been countless sartorial snapshots or eye pleasing periods of men's dress which we look back on now either wishing we could experience for ourselves or indeed wanting to emulate that particular sense of style in the present day. Here we talk to a selection of our favourite designers to hear which periods of style or which fashion moment they would gladly hope in to Doc's Delorean to experience for themselves...

If you could go back in time and experience any fashion moment, what would it be?
----------
Nick Thomas, Head Menswear designer at John Smedley.
"I remember someone telling me about the moment that the first ever dye colour was discovered, Mauve. What a moment that must have been, to see it appear on cloth, and how different from the normal dreary palettes of yore. It paved the way for brands like us for who colour is integral. We’ve got a lot to be thankful for, it made the world a much more colourful place I’m sure. Mauve is definitely underrated."

Hannah Martin, jewellery designer.
"I love everything about the 30s. Any architecture, furniture and clothing wise because it isn't as flash as the 20s and everything is toned down."
----------
Matthew Miller, designer.
"Perfect Moment? The Mods and Rocker era of the Sixties, fast women stylish bikes and amazing suits. What more could a man ask for?"
----------
Harris Elliott, accessories designer.
"Have to be turn of last century where you would wear formal clothes even if you were cleaning the streets."
----------
Matthew Murphy, Owner/Buyer/Designer at b Store.
"The beat generation."
