London Collections Men

This past weekend the British Fashion Council put on a series of showrooms and fashion shows in London called London Collections: Men (LC: M), which brought together well-known and emerging menswear designers from around the world to debut their collections for Autumn/Winter 2015. The renowned event, now in its 6^th year running, brought in fashion elite like Vogue editor Anna Wintour and high profile celebrities like rapper Tinie Tempah. With inspirations ranging from the abstract and artistic, to the athletic and sporty, to traditional London tailoring, the collections that were shown at LC: M were so diverse and innovative that there was a look for nearly any man’s style. Here are some of Fashion Fabrics Club’s favorites.

Astrid Andersen

Astrid Andersen has a signature in menswear that she describes in her own words, “To create a look that is masculine, using street attitude and hip-hop references whilst playing on more feminine materials and colours.” Her A/W 2015 collection did just that, incorporating slinky, shiny Velour fabrics into her line of men’s athletic-inspired streetwear.

Belstaff

Belstaff, known for providing “the fearless explorer and the fashion enthusiast alike discover an approachable luxury for a modern lifestyle,” showed a line of motorcycle-club-meets-1950s-diner for this fall/winter complete with heavy combat boots, moto-gear and faux fur sweaters and jackets.

Oliver Spencer

English menswear brand Oliver Spencer, known for the “luxury artisan” look, showed a collection of thick tweed matching suits in neutrals colors like navy/tan tweed, black/white suiting, and navy blue tweed, showing off the softer side of sophistication.

Hardy Amies

Creative director of Mehmet Ali stayed true to the Hardy Amies legacy by showing a classic line of traditional London tailoring in black/tan plaid suiting and navy blue plaid suiting paired with varying top coats and dress shoes.

Topman Design

Topman is known for always being on-trend with a youthful and colorful overtone, which was demonstrated at LC: M with a 1970s-inspired collection of bold and bright oversized black/yellow plaid suiting and red/white plaid suiting.

Richard James

As one of the “new establishment” tailors on Savile Row, the London menswear brand Richard James aims “to produce classic, refined clothing of unsurpassed quality and push the boundaries through design, colour and cut.” This autumn/winter, the brand used bold reds and a variety of saturated blue hues paired with dark blue denim jeans and sneakers to create a casual-chic look.
