'(15 Jul 1998) Italian/Nat Classic suits, long skirts and underwear were unveiled on the catwalk on Wednesday - the second day of London Men\'s Fashion Week. The British menswear label Jeffery Green launched its first ever full menswear range at the event. Also showing was the Italian designer Tullio Di Lorenzo. Tullio Di Lorenzo unveiled his international collection on Wednesday - with models, music and designs from all over the world. Cool white jackets to suit hot climates combined with cool steely grey. Press from all over the world are assembled here to see the first London\'s menswear collection unveiled. The models shed their clothing to reveal underwear in the colours of the Italian flag. After the show Di Lorenzo spoke revealed the collection\'s inspiration. SOUNDBITE: (rough translation of Italian) \"Every speaks about a united Europe, united Europe, united Europe, nobody speaks about a united world, I used this idea for my show because I don\'t like racism and I want to mix all kinds of things, including Arabic music, I selected Arabic music to represent the Middle East, the shoes represent the Far East, tattoos represent Africa.\" SUPERCAPTION: Tullio Di Lorenzo, designer Deborah Jeffery and her partner Simon Green unveiled their first proper menswear collection - under the label Jeffery Green. Single breasted jackets, short sleeved glazed cotton and sheer linen skirts were juxtaposed with slim line skirts. The first menswear collection has attracted much press interest from around the world. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) \"I think it\'s great, the fashion industry has been waiting to see something in London for the men, it\'s what I was expecting - something new - new ideas, designs and good fabrics.\" SUPERCAPTION: Alessandro Ferrari, staff editor of Vomo Collezioni, Italy Organisers hope that British menswear designers will reap the benefits from this inaugural show.
