A Man’s Per­spec­tive–Cap­tured dur­ing Lon­don Fash­ion Week this past Feb­ru­ary, pho­tog­ra­pher Eil­ish McCormick passes onto us a cou­ple first­hand snap­shots fea­tur­ing mod­els Adam Holden (Select), Jake Short­all (AMCK), Jimmy Q (Select), Miles Bet­ter and Tom Lan­der (Select) as they appear on and off the runway.

Oliver Spencer Fall/​Winter 2012 | London Fashion Week

Old Meets New–With a col­lec­tion inspired by the 1970’s art house move­ment as well as British painter Lucian Freud, com­fort label Oliver Spencer delights the run­way dur­ing London’s lat­est fash­ion week. Sort­ing through an eclec­tic lot of faces, Spencer’s men don a col­lec­tion that strongly incor­po­rates pris­tine cuts, knitwear and a splash of color with bold hues. Among the var­i­ous looks are pat­terned base­ball jack­ets, fairisle, cardi­gans and much more includ­ing a debonair spread of boots and loafers for a col­lec­tion that dar­ingly com­bines a vin­tage feel with the gra­tu­itous tai­lor­ing of today.

Topman Design Fall/​Winter 2012 | London Fashion Week

After Mid­night–Tak­ing a dark turn, Top­man Design chan­nels a young Patti Smith and Robert Map­plethorpe for their fall/​winter 2012 out­ing. Mix­ing and mesh­ing rich tex­tures for a rebel­lious sea­son, a tra­di­tional Eng­lish sen­si­bil­ity is jux­ta­posed with a rel­a­tive edge. Alter­nat­ing between tapered trousers and pants of PVC, Topman’s hero demon­strates a knack for clean dress with a mod­ern spin. Trans­lat­ing Mapplethorpe’s lily print into graphic dressed silk shirt­ing, the fin­ish­ing touch to a col­lec­tion of lush knits and struc­tured out­er­wear is a range of rosaries, crafted by Husam El Odeh.

Christopher Shannon Fall/​Winter 2012 | London Fashion Week

Worldly Fas­ci­na­tion–Math­ieu Kasso­vitz film La Haine, Jason Evans exhi­bi­tion W’Happen and a dis­sec­tion of Euro­pean dress serve as the cre­ative foun­da­tion to Christo­pher Shannon’s fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion. Look­ing out­side the con­fines of the United King­dom, for­eign sta­ples are rein­ter­preted for Shannon’s take on sports­wear. From jacquard knitwear derived from super­mar­ket win­dow graph­ics in Paris to ban­dana prints inspired by Amer­i­can music artist Snoop Dogg, the col­lec­tion takes pos­ses­sion of var­ied ref­er­ences, includ­ing singer Sinéad O’Connor and turns out a hodge­podge of mod­ern styles. Affect­ing a uni­form of bombers, shirt­ing, jog­gers and other relaxed sep­a­rates, a splash of trim and char­ac­ter go a long way in pro­pelling a lineup rid­den with per­son­al­ity and ease.

Agi & Sam Fall/​Winter 2012 | London Fashion Week

Quacks & Suits–Agi & Sam lay­ered on their sig­na­ture humor for their recent Lon­don Fash­ion Week show­ing. Revolv­ing their fall/​winter 2012 col­lec­tion around Darwin’s The­ory of Why the Chicken Crossed the Road, the men of Agi & Sam hit the cat­walk bat­tered and bruised but in the utmost style. With ducks and chick­ens as their fun design motif, seri­ous menswear fun­da­men­tals were infused with a light­ness of the heart. Com­bin­ing intri­cate prints with inter­est­ing pro­por­tions, today’s fit­ted suit was dis­sected for a play on vol­ume as well as sep­a­rates. Jux­ta­posed with a British sen­si­bil­ity on steroids, deli­cious col­ors and prints aided a show­ing strong on sub­stance and cheer. /​ Pho­tos by Saty + Pratha.
