LONDON MEN'S COLLECTIONS DATES ANNOUNCED.

Following the mind-blowing London Men's Collections in January, new dates have been announced for the next set of shows.

June will be a busy month for all menswear designers, starting Sunday 16th till Tuesday 18th. Menswear proved itself to be a movement in fashion not be reckoned with in January and the next shows are even more highly anticipated now.

I can't wait to see what's in store for us menswear fashion fanatics.

A FASHION MOVEMENT AT ITS MOST POWERFUL.

Spring is fast approaching and even though the sun isn't shining just yet, the male fashionista's definitely are. Colour blocking would be an understatement - I'd say bright, acid-trip, outrageous colour clashing is more of an appropriate reference to the street style we're all going to witness this season.

Cobalt blues, luminous yellows, lime greens - the list goes on and on. The key to nailing the trend is to be as daring as ever. Although it's not just about the statement colours - prints have also been taken to a whole new level with African inspiration and extravagant patterns. Simple yet eccentric menswear brand Dent De Man would be the finest example.

Some could say the world has gone mad, but personally I think menswear fashion has been inside a shell for far too long - it's time to break out and fulfill it's utmost potential. It's a fashion movement at its most powerful.

MENSWEAR STREET STYLE.

Here is the street style that appealed to me most this during London Fashion Week, beginning the variation of images is Oliver Proudlock. Men's style is becoming as daring as ever and I ask myself, is menswear the future of fashion?  Have a read of my menswear street style post for menswearstyle:

London Fashion Week: Day 5.

The 5 days of London Fashion Week have come to an end unfortunately, it's been beyond an amazing week.    I've met so many inspirational, interesting and great people, it's been an unforgettable experience of my first time at LFW.

      I attended the James Long AW13 presentation and then featured a short piece on the 1883 blog, as well as the Ming Pin Tien "Bye Bye Youth AW13" show, I had the pleasure of being sat opposite Oliver Proudlock and Rosie Fortescue on front row. 

      To end the week I went onto the Schon! Magazine new issue launch party with the 1883 team, the free cocktails went down very nicely. Although sadly the week has now come to an end. I can return to writing about menswear fashion and I'll be posting some really cool street style soon! Farewell LFW, see you again soon.

London Fashion Week: Day 4.

 

 

 

Today was the penultimate day of London Fashion Week. It was also the day of the Christopher Kane show - which I was beyond unhappy to have missed. I attended the Pringle of Scotland presentation and to my surprise it was absolutely mesmerizing. The collection was clean cut, simple and the experimentation with textures and feathers really emphasised the designs.

 

      I managed to go backstage at the Osman show, where I witnessed the moody looking models having their hair and make up done. Then I was able to see the run through of the show and shortly after I came across Amanda Ware, winner of Australia's Next Top Model 2010 competition. I'm a huge fan of the show and Amanda, so it was overwhelming to have met her.

 

      I'm sad the week is coming to end, it's been great working with 1883 Magazine and being able to meet so many interesting people. Here is my post on the 1883 website blog: http://www.1883magazineblog.com/lfwaw13-day-3-pringle-of-scotland/

 

London Fashion Week: Day 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 3 complete, and I'd say tired is a definite understatement. Although each second is worth it after another amazing day at London Fashion Week.

 

      I was invited to the presentation of Jane Bowler's AW13 collection, amongst the work of other designers also being showcased - the free champagne was great! Meeting her for the first time, she recognised me surprisingly (that's a good thing right?)

 

      Today I also bumped into Henry Holland, who unfortunately refused to have his picture taken, despite my several desperate attempts. Aside from that, my highlight would have to be Christopher Raeburn sitting down with me and letting me record an interview with him - he's such a lovely guy and his collections (both menswear and womenswear) are definitely worth looking at!
