Labrinth is clearly music's man of the moment, what the incredible success of Earthquake (with Tinie Tempah) and a new album, Electronic Earth out next month. But there's more to admire about him: he looks as good as he sounds.
Which is why omg! want to pay homage to his incredible style! On Monday his pal Tinie Tempah was crowned best-dressed man by GQ magazine but we reckon it's time we sat up to Lab's love of fashion.

This week we discovered the producer is a fan of Canterbury of New Zealand clothing having recently sported their varsity jacket…
The brand's Head of Design Oli Hill spoke to omg! exclusively about what it's like to dress such a star (and no, unfortunately he doesn't do fittings to size up Labrinth's hot bod!)
"Labrinth effortlessly fuses classic pieces with his own natural style. The way in which he carries the clothes is what makes him such a stylish guy," Oli said.
Well styled: Labrinth is a lover of Canterbury clothing, especially this jacket
Characters like Lab are clearly what the label love as they've cited him as an inspiration.
"We have a handful of muses that we think of every season and Labrinth is definitely one of the main ones.
"The varsity jacket [Labrinth wears above] is fast becoming an iconic piece. It is a classic garment steeped in preppy heritage and we have re-worked it this season to look aged and battered.
"Labrinth is a long term wearer of the brand, and we have been very lucky to have a great relationship with his stylist Ayishat Akanbi. He is regularly seen in our shirts, knitwear, chinos and of course the jacket in this picture".

Of course there's enough room for two well-dressed men in music, and Oli adds that Tinie Tempah is equally as deserving on the best-dressed title…
"Tinie has been able to mold his own style and look, he is the perfect reflection of what the modern man is these days, as he is able to move from jeans and a tee to an Oswald Boateng suit effortlessly."
But which man do you think is more stylish?
