While London Fashion Week for womenswear have drawn its curtain and the spotlight went to Milan, London Fashion Week for Menswear have just started, and One Day Only.
The day started with 9am JW Anderson.
Risk-taking is the word to describe the collection, as it seems, also stated in press release, that few looks are crossing the gender boundary, yet very masculine (which's remind me of the styling of Ash few season ago with long hair & pleats kilts.)
Almost every piece were a hit but except one - Patent Trousers.
Other than that, the navy peacoat with fur hood trim, high waist tailored trousers, and different panelling on garments. Re-use of traditional prints into various colours were a brave move as well. Impressive collection.
BUY for definite.
Straight after JW Anderson, 1015 Topman Design located at Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
The 1950's silhouette seems like one of the inspiration to the collection, especially with its prints and pick of colour tones.
All looks started with a turtle neck light-knit jumper, and layered up.
Boat Neck cut on jumpers, which was a carry-on from this year (as in AW10-11)
Out of the looks, there were 2/3 that looked bit out of place as it involves high-waisted denim and baseball jackets, which surely based round the 50's subculture rock n roll scene. while all the other looks are various suiting cuts and variation of fabrics.
I do have to confess that the red mac coat at the end, does look similar to Burberry Prorsum back in 2007.Very commercial too. So definitely can see them selling them in Topman in 6-8 months time.
COMING UP: Sibling + Mr. Start & a new brand focus feature.
