Each year, during the months of January and June

the fashion spotlight centres on London for the biannual

showcasing of British design talent in menswear fashion:

LC: M (London Collections: Men).

It’s June, and LC:  M is back!

…

The event marks four days of focused attention on

British menswear design:

the quirkiness, the inventiveness, the unexpected,

the experimental, the visual impact, the sheer madness-

the complete fashion fun of British clothing design.

…

Ready for this   …

her innovative prints, striking colour choices and

informed inspiration from works of art, photography and

Ms. Katrantzou’s recent project is an exciting collaboration

with mega sportswear giant, German multinational- Adidas.

Set for a long-term partnership, the inaugural

autumn/winter 2014, Christoper Shannon, menswear, menswear - bold accents, menswear designers, menswear fashion, sportswear

 

“Kitted, like a football team,”

is how British menswear designer Christopher Shannon

describes his a/w 2014 collection.

 

…

…

The pieces generate an urban, sportswear, contemporary vibe

tempered with a soft, effortlessness:  a blend of street attitude and lux ease.

The materials and patterns use tell the style-story of

a certain toughness with leather, a visual softness with florals

and an inventiveness with men’s knit silhouette.

 

…

The jewellery, crafted by the legendary stylist/designer Judy Blame,

were striking statement pieces.

Men’s white toiletry bags as carriers added colour interest and style attention.

A graduate of Central Saint Martins prestigious MA course in Fashion Design,

Mr. Shannon won the inaugural  BFC/GQ Designer Menswear Fund-

awarded in summer 2014.

The prize, bestowed by the British Fashion Council (BFC)

and GQ magazine, provides monetary and mentoring assistance.

A menswear designer on a perfect ascent,

Shannon is definitely one to watch.
