Our LCM started off with their AW13/14 show featuring Astrid Andersen, Craig Green, and Agi & Sam, each brand and style stands alone from eachother and I personally loves Craig Green, with visiting his presentation last season in Fashion East as well.
Astrid Andersen
Comment: Inspired by 90s basketball culture with its fonts and design. Nylon dominated with extreme fittings, with a dash of metallic, assembles an outstanding yet practical pieces. Velvet made an appearance too but in a tracksuit form, and of course with few printed shirts in sight.
Reference: "Digital prints, fabrication and colour palette with delicate lavender and gold subverting black jersey and all-in-ones... Japanese silk jersey tees and basket tanks, nylon bombers"
Agi & Sam
Comment: I absolutely love Agi & Sam, personally would love to have few pieces from the collection as well. I named this "Frenchman in Neons" as featuring lot of classic fabrics alongside with updated cuts and finishing. The braveness of playing bold is very important in contemporary tailoring menswear! The first look was a jacket opening at the back instead of the front per norm! Contrast fabric sleeves as continuity from past seasons, but houndstooths rain jacket with contrast sleeves is exceptional. Choice of models was also brave, including different age men showing how versatile and comfortable their collection is. Also, I wasn't able to get a good picture of the shoes, but I'm seeing a leather / canvas soles coming through?
Reference: "'It's about subverting things that are traditional and British' says Agi & Sam... They've also broadened their way of using prints, playing with scale and placement across garments and accessories... They're doing their best to make sure its prepared for the British Winter; waterproofing their collection up to the eye balls."
amazin...
More after the jump.
