London Collections: Men

After knowing about this since last year I am so happy to see press coverage on the London Collections: Men. If you love menswear, or are in the least bit interested in men's fashion this is some very exciting news. After years of being in the shadows of Pitti Uomo, Paris, New York & Milan Mens Weeks, London's menswear is cracking its cocoon and flying solo with its own expose running 15th-17th June 2012.

The event backed by the British Fashion Council with help to promote British businesses and brands within its homeland, rather than relying on the last day of London Fashion Week. This means BIG things for British fashion and its a step in the right direction for menswear as a whole...there is so much to show, as men become more and more design conscious and trend aware.

From Oxford Street to Saville Row, so many brands are getting involved including: Margaret Howell, Aquascutum, Richard James, J.W.Anderson, E. Tautz, the MAN shows, NEWGEN and of course Topman Design, amongst others. The event itself is even sponsored by online luxury mens retailer Mr. Porter.

Gordon Richardson, Topman's spokesman hyped the event saying:

“No longer shoe horned into one condensed hectic day, the newly established London Menswear Collections, over 3 glorious days now has the space to breathe, flourish and generate the buzz that will put its talented rising men's fashion stars firmly on the international fashion map.”

I couldn't have put the words better myself. To read more about it from the BFC click here. if not I'll leave you with some of my favourite shots of the recent en's fashion weeks.
