Topman Spring 2011 | London Fashion Week

Mod-​​inspired, Topman’s spring col­lec­tion looks to the past for a fun mix of old and new. Imag­in­ing their youth as a for­ward thinker rum­mag­ing through old vinyls and dis­cov­er­ing the refresh­ing qual­i­ties of vin­tage gar­ments, a wide spec­trum of color and pro­por­tions come together for a some­what quirky out­ing. While prints add a psy­che­delic qual­ity, bold col­ors and clev­erly sized sil­hou­ettes make the range mod­ern. From wide fit­ted box­ing shorts and tightly cinched high waists to casual lay­ers com­plete with light parkas, Top­man brings forth a meld­ing of the times for an inspi­ra­tional sea­son of the utmost style.

A Child of the Jago | Fall 2010

Dar­ryl Vides Kennedy cap­tures a close up of the mad­ness con­tained at A Child of the Jago’s recent show­ing of their sopho­more col­lec­tion. Staged dur­ing last month’s Lon­don Fash­ion Week, the young label was inspired by jovial mon­key busi­ness gone awry. Look­ing to the street for inspi­ra­tion, design­ers Simon Armitage and Joseph Corre arrived at a per­verted sense of Vic­to­rian grace. Pair­ing over­size suit­ing with the equiv­a­lent of fash­ion­able rags, A Child of the Jago pre­sented a man of eclec­tic chaos that some­how man­ages to pur­vey an unde­ni­able charm.

London Fashion Week | Lou Dalton Fall 2010

A hint of a kilt, tar­tan and fair isle prints give char­ac­ter to a pre­view of Lou Dalton’s fall 2010 col­lec­tion. A mod­est col­lec­tion inspired by thoughts of Scot­land, fall’s range moves for­ward smoothly embrac­ing suit­ing, knits and out­er­wear with an every­day fit and a great offer­ing of color.

London Fashion Week | Soar Fall 2010

Dis­rupt­ing the clas­sics with a sud­den shift in shape and pro­por­tion, Tim Soar approaches the fall sea­son with cre­ative ten­sion. At a glance, the col­lec­tion appears for­mal, but strangely enough, the deci­sion to omit tra­di­tional shirt col­lars in favor of the crew-​​neck paves the way for an under­stated casu­al­ness. Mean­while, cropped boxy sil­hou­ettes make lay­er­ing inevitable, while longer fin­ishes break with the image of the tidy suit. At odds with itself, the col­lec­tion can go any direc­tion, but in the con­text of Soar’s work, fall’s offer­ings most def­i­nitely tip in favor of the formal.

London Fashion Week | James Long Fall 2010

Cre­at­ing a world where lush time­less knits can har­mo­niously co-​​exist with mod­ern leather gar­ments, designer James Long finds suc­cess in the details. Whereas many of his peers embraced leather sleeve inserts for the upcom­ing fall sea­son, Long goes the extra mile, begin­ning with two dis­tinct classes of gar­ments before find­ing a com­mon thread. Skill­fully craft­ing sep­a­rates, con­sist­ing of knitwear and leather with impec­ca­ble atten­tion to detail, the two con­trast­ing ele­ments are grad­u­ally brought together for a near genius result. Deliv­er­ing both edge and com­fort, a play­ful mix of fab­rics is rounded out by a small splash of color – lend­ing a dark and sophis­ti­cated col­lec­tion an upbeat mood.

London Fashion Week | Carolyn Massey Fall 2010

Nes­tled amongst a sea of black and gray for the fall sea­son, Car­olyn Massey not only man­ages to soften the appear­ance of leather, but also slips in a delight­ful accent of pale pink. Let­ting out the wardrobe of her thought­ful man, Massey length­ens semi-​​relaxed knits, while also craft­ing bil­low­ing sleeves that add a cer­tain light­ness. Prov­ing that fall fash­ion does not have to be bulky to func­tion, Car­olyn Massey’s man is strong on struc­ture and color, but fin­ishes soft in way of cut and drape.
