Let the Fashion Weeks, begin!

The Fashion Weeks are about to begin again and as per usual, the men are first to show off their sartorial ability. The dapper capital of UK is once again playing host to London Collections: Men, a series of fashion shows from the best of british menswear designers and labels. London Collections have shown to the world countless times the sartorial history and future of the fashion capital of London, and there's high expectations. Just one day away, the established and emerging designers of London are no doubt going through chaotic preparation for their shows. 
For a little taste of what trends and designers we will see, watch the London Collections: Men video, directed by Matt Lambert. Featuring pieces from well-known British designers and labels such as fast fashion success Topman, Burberry, Jonathan Saunders, Martine Rose, classic couturier Hardy Amies, Sibling and Richard James, who will all be showing during the Week, a story of the tri-personalities of the fashionable British man and their influence on menswear trends is made clear throughout the film. LONDON COLLECTIONS: MEN IS ON FROM 15th -18th JUNE For the show schedule including which designers are streaming LIVE, CLICK HERE

London Collections: Men, Day 3

It may be the last day of London Collections: Men Autumn/Winter 2013, but it only marks the beginning of Milan Men's Fashion Week and after that, Paris Men's Fashion Week. Once again, the week showed the best designers from London and their ability to fulfill London's reputation for individuality and timelessness in style.

The last day featured shows from Katie Eary, Xander Zhou, Shaun Samson, J.W. Anderson and the famous Savile Row. My favourite collections were Christopher Raeburn, E. Tautz and Hardy Amies .

Christopher Raeburn Autumn/Winter 2013

Christopher Raeburn is known for his both functional and stylish collections, never hindering on masculinity and always showing to men their ability to pull off functional fashion with class. Colours such as bright red, grey marle, navy blue and forest green flow through his collection, allowing pops of colour for bold men this coming Autumn/Winter season. 

E. Tautz Autumn/Winter 2013

Classic men's tailoring manages to always get twisted by the vision of E. Tautz. Trousers are puffed, button up shirts are oversized and tucked out, double breasted jackets encompass digital prints and dynamic printed sweaters are what makes up this collection, but the boldness of the pieces do nothing but emphasize modern man's ability to express his style in different ways.

Hardy Amies Autumn/Winter 2013

Hardy Amies, an icon of British menswear, showed a collection that embodies the future of men's tailoring. A combination of different details on every garment create a look for the man who wishes to show the possibilities of menswear, including leather panels on ponchos, grid-like tartan in a variety of colours, mono-brow sunglasses and tucking one's trousers into the socks. The individual pieces are reminiscent of past trends but come together to create a look of the future.
