Geeks are no longer the outcasts, they are writing the best novels, designing the best clothes and, in Ayoade's case, directing the best independent films (see Submarine). That he managed to do this while holding his own against Hollywood's comedy elite in The Watch proves that geeks really do finish first." James Mullinger, Photographic Director, GQ

Already you can see the experimentation with grooming, the mega hair, the interest in fit, cut and movement. He likes the limelight, it likes him and he's always dressed for it. There's no more sleek and deadly combination in a young pop turn. Watch this space." Luke Day, Fashion Director, GQ Style
