LONDON COLLECTIONS: MEN, DAY 3

>>YES! I am sad to say that today was the final day of London Collections: Men. To kick start the final day of this amazing fashion event, designer J.W Anderson hit the runway. I loved everything about this classic collection, calm block colours and simple accessories worked so well together. I especially loved the cute teddy T's worn with tailored suit trousers.

I thought that J.W Anderson did an amazing job at opening the final day of the first Men's fashion event and Nicole Farhi closed the event with a final classy runway show. The collection was based around the perfect gentleman and a lot of tailored trousers! All of the models had a classic clean cut look and reminded me a lot of geeky Superman or Captain America. Nicole's collection represented the style of the whole London Collections event, smart fashion for men which shows class and sophistication.

London Collections: Men was the first ever big fashion event for men in London! I thought that it was a complete success and I am slightly jealous of men's fashion right now. I may have to try and sneak a couple of key pieces from the Katie Eary collection, girls can pull off men's clothing anyway!! I hope that this will become a yearly event because I think people forget that men do like fashion as well and we need to have more for them. All I can say is jealous, much!

LONDON COLLECTIONS MEN: DAY 2

>>Today was day 2 of London Collections: Men and the first show to start off the day was from statement designer Sibling. This collection had a slight Gareth Pugh feel about it with the models faces being covered up and distorted, but this didn't take away from the clothing. Gentle creams and golds on light baggy fabric, looked both comfy and sporty. It is clear that the Olympic games certainly had an impact on the design for this collection.

Another collection that caught my eye today was the Katie Eary collection. I really thought that this show represented everything about A/W men's fashion. The collection was built around statement prints and patterns, white trainers and silk fabrics. I have always been a fan of silk scarf patterned shirts and bomber jackets!

LONDON COLLECTIONS MEN: LAUNCH EVENT & DAY 1

>>It has been dubbed the first London Fashion Week for men and has a schedule tightly packed full of British designers. These includes fashion talents such as Pringle, Topman Design, Burberry, Paul Smith and many, many more.

The London Collections Men event kicked off today with a launch party hosted by none other than HRH The Prince of Wales! This invite only event was set at St James's Palace London. After the glitzy launch party day 1 hosted 13 yes 13!! catwalk collections from many designers (here's a few) Lou Dalton, Hackett London, Topman Design, Orlebar Brown and Joseph Abboud. I have had a look through all of the collections and have chosen my main highlight from Day 1 London Collections Men.

My highlight was the Topman Design collection, I chose this because I thought that the collection represented everything about A/W fashion so well. Mixing greys with pop's of colour, thick knits and bomber jackets scream out 'Bring on those rainy September days'! Another highlight from this collection was the American styled baggy tops and shorts featuring football styled numbers. They all came in bold block colours and looked good enough for the Olympic games.
