London Collections Men SS17 // The Shows

As much as I love snapping that perfect street style pic it's always nice to get some downtime. During LCM I managed to attend the Casely Hayford and KTZ runway shows as well as some great presentations from Belstaff and Barbour. You'd be surprised how much music at these events changes the atmosphere and I have to say KTZ got it spot on this year. Lichterschmaus by Pantha Du Prince was a personal favourite so make sure to follow my public playlists on Google Play if you like electronic / downtempo music.

The Belstaff SS17 collection is inspired by the carefree attitude of the guys and girls from on and off the bike tracks and references not only the washed out colour palette of the film, but also key design details and colours from Belstaff's archive pieces from the era.

From the late 60s, motorcycle apparel brands began to experiment with new leather dyes and patterns. Riders were able to customise their racing leathers on the track, and this concept has been embraced in the new collection.

LCM SS17 Day 2 Street Style // Journal 55

Meitu #FacesOfFashion took LCM by storm and now that the hectic weekend has passed I can finally sit down and look through the different styles everyone was rocking. As the late Bill Cunningham put it "fashion is always on the street" and there's no right way to dress so put on whatever makes you feel 110% and rock it with confidence. You're your own worst critic 🙂

Following up from LCM DAY 1 we continue our journey and aim to bring you the latest from behind the scenes of London Collections: Men with Oliver Proudlock, Andrew Cooper, Joey London, Eva Herzigova, Stephen James and Diego Barrueco.

LCM SS17 Day 1 Street Style // Journal 54

In the grand scheme of things London Collections Men is still in its infancy and yet it feels like it could give London Fashion Week a run for its money. A few weeks ago the talent and marketing agency Unsigned GRP partnered up with the Chinese app maker Meitu to bring the London vibe to its ever expanding platform.

We're becoming more and more engrossed in our phones so Meitu decided to create simple yet beautiful apps such as BeautyPlus and MakeupPlus which are sure to give Facetune a run for its money. They're also completely free so if you want to test out a look or improve your selfie look no further.

Topman Knightsbridge, This Is Tailoring

A few days ago I was invited to the Topman store in Knightsbridge to sample their ‘THIS IS TAILORING’ collection and start my personal summer a few weeks earlier than expected. In keeping with tailoring traditions the suits on offer have been reimagined in new ‘warmer handle textures’. Perfect for al those prom, wedding and race days coming up this summer.

Although I've been in London for almost two years now I don't think I've fully explored Knightsbidge before this day. Knightsbridge is home to many luxury shops, including the department stores Harrods and Harvey Nichols, and flagship stores of many British and international fashion houses, including those of London-based shoe designers Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik.

Topman - This Is Tailoring

[separator type="thin"]

topman this is tailoring

As of last Thursday TOPMAN occupies the basement of the existing TOPSHOP space at 70 Brompton Road, Knightsbridge. The original store space opened in May 2010 trading over 3 floors, with TOPMAN moving into the lower ground floor the total shopping space increases to 14,400sq.ft.

To replicate the success of the Oxford Circus Personal Shopping service a brand new Personal Shopping suite will be installed serving both TOPSHOP and TOPMAN customers, with a personal shopper specifically dedicated to TOPMAN appointments. I found the personal shopper to be super friendly and honest which is what you need if you're not entirely sure about the colour or the fit.

Whichever style you settle on make sure to take it to the onsite tailors who will ensure the perfect fit for your body shape. As a man it's a nice feeling to wear a well tailored suit, it almost puts an extra spring in your step so don't cut corners! I settled on a skinny two button burgundy suit although the light blue and grey styles were ridiculously tempting.

London Collections Men 2016

A whirlwind few days, LCM has left me physically and emotionally drained and yet I would not have changed it for the world. Getting some of my shots published in Fucking Young magazine was a personal highlight but meeting up with some old friends and overindulging on alcohol will never go out of fashion.

Diego Barrueco, Joey London, Gallucks, Infashionity and everyone else (you know who you are!) who made this weekend so memorable - I salute you!

Casely Hayford London Collections Men Autumn Winter 2015

Casely Hayford are a London based father (Joe) and son (Charlie) design duo that started in 2009 with a vision of creating unique London style pieces for an international audience. Their looks fuse sportswear with tailoring and high art with street culture and technology. Having both studied at St. Martins, Joe is the former Creative Director of Gieves & Hawkes while Charlie apprenticed under his father whilst styling musicians from British band The xx to hip hop artists such as Nas.

After the Duchamp LCM show I met up with my friend Kristina at the Old Sorting Office on New Oxford Street for Casely Hayfords' much anticipated Autumn / Winter 2015 runway show. The place was buzzing for the 'Runaways' collection which was supposed to draw inspiration from a group of runaways looking for a new way of life outside the narrow confines of modern city life.

The show itself was very fast paced with drum & bass and hip hop instrumentals blaring over the sound system, I even suggested the DJ host a rave night in the future because the music selection was pretty impeccable. What really stood out for me in the collection is the versatility of layers that were on display. Where to order Viagra, here https://www.rmhc-richmond.org/buy-viagra-100/ cheapest Sildenafil no prescription. The contrasting futurist techno prints of fleece sweats converge with the geometric lines of deconstructed puffas, which are presented as the new leather and nylon “Deflated Down” Jackets.

This season Casely-Hayford presents three unique collaborations – developing footwear, eyewear as well as moving into the wearable tech arena which is an area I'm really interested in so watch out for some more write-ups in the future covering wearable tech.

London Collections: Men – Duchamp A/W 2015 Menswear Collection

Between the 9^th and 12^th of January the capital played host to London Collections: Men which is now in its 4^th year of operation. London Collections Men (or LCM for short) emphasises both the creative and commercial importance of British brands and other emerging talent. The events at LCM are designed to showcase a wide variety of designers and the growing cultural landscape that contributes to the inspiration and success of the ever growing fashion industry.

The number of passionate individuals behind many of the UKs biggest blogs and brands were present and their love for fashion and design was infectious and in some ways highly motivational from a personal point of view. The LCM 2015 was an experience and a little glimpse into the fashion world I have heard so much about, now we just need to see what London Fashion Week 2015 has in store for us.

One of the brands I was really keen on learning more about was Duchamp who I have covered in the past in the Duchamps 'The Artist' and 'The Jetsetting Rogue' posts. At LCM Duchamp showed off the continued evolution of their collection and I have to say I’m loving the direction the Autumn / Winter 2015 pieces are heading. With the emphasis on colour and fabric innovation the eveningwear blazers came in numerous different varieties such as hounds tooth and block coloured wool and cashmere in camel, sea blue, forest green and monochrome.

For those who don't know, Duchamp traces its origins to a accidental discovery by its founder of a cache of 10,000 vintage cufflinks on a trip to a Paris flea market, inspiring him to create his own luxury men’s accessories in his native London. Following on from this theme, the dinner jackets are exclusively printed on luxury 50-ounce English silk to really bring out the texture and my word are they nice to touch, both inside and outside.

The new LCM collection was held in the Scarfes Bar at the stunning Rosewood Hotel in Holburn which in itself was an experience. The room was filled with old friends and familiar faces who have all dedicated their Sunday evening to their passions. Bloggers such as David Evans (Grey Fox), Toni Tran (Fashitects), Nathan Lewis (Man Meets Fashion), Henri (Infashionity) and Jaime (Boy Meets Fashion) were all as charming as I imagined and took the time to chat to the ‘new kid on the block’ and even give me some substantial tips and tricks of the trade.

After meeting several of my counterparts I felt severely underdressed as I opted to go for the simple but classic dark blazer and tie combination with very few stand out details (a full writeup on the outfit will be published this week so make sure you keep an eye out). I was too busy to care though as I was overwhelmed by the live music which really added to the atmosphere of a Hollywood party in the 60s and intricate entrees that wouldn’t look out of place at an ambassadors ball.

Overall I had a fantastic experience at the Duchamp London Collections, the outfits were very outlandish yet classic as they stuck to tried and tested fabric principles with wool and cashmere. Meeting David from Grey Fox was also a personal highlight as he has served as a personal inspiration for a number of years and boy can that man rock a tweed jacket. Make sure you keep reading Style Division for more London Collections: Men write-ups and hopefully our paths will cross at LCM 2016!
