Oliver Spencer London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Oliver Spencer London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 is a dichotomy between fashionable of fashion-victim: how can one collection feature Freddy Kruger, concentration camp PJ’s met with prison uniforms, and contrastingly beautiful prints mixed expertly, and fabulous perfectly tailored looks?  The horizontal striped looks paired with matching hats and scarves bring A Nightmare on Elm Street…

Matthew Miller London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Matthew Miller’s London Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2016 runway show featured stunning photo-prints on t-shirts and coats, mostly black looks belted at the natural waist, chic looks which were impeccably executed, form-fitting silhouettes, and sharp modern cuts.  The palette was composed of black, gray, and wheat.  Black on black pinstriped three piece suiting on a blonde…

Lou Dalton Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week FW16 LFW

Lou Dalton’s Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week collection was full of brown and   cream plaid, brown, and black looks.  Ill-fitting pants, and fuzzy shirts and pants that looked like dirty old teddys.  It wasn’t an elevated, well executed or well tailored collection- the fabric selection and silhouettes looked amateur. Had it been edited down I…

E. Tautz Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week FW16 LFW

E. Tautz Fall/Winter 2016 Men’s London Fashion Week Collection has us pining nostalgically for a time gone by.  Impeccable dress-wear, separates, suits, coats, sweaters, jackets, ties, scarves and ascots we actually want to try to pull off.  The palette was black, gray, cream, camel suede, and deep blues.  Plaid, gingham, bold pinstriped wool, the fabric…

Man FW16 Fall/Winter 2016 LFW

Man, a collaboration between Lulu Kennedy’s Fashion East and Topman, presented three collections, the first of which started out with some boring horrendous scary seventies looks, complete with perms and reverse-perms. Bell bottoms, velvet, light wash denim, and patches.  Designer Grace Wales Bonner showed some elevated looks, such as the silver embroidered shirt with tuxedo pants, but they were…

Craig Green FW16: Mad For Muslin LFW Spring/Summer 2016

Craig Green’s Fall/Winter 2016 London Men’s Fashion Week Collection seemed to be a hogwash mishmash of muslin, prisoner uniform meets Adams family meets fashion school rendition of Edward Scissorhands. I wish there was some major editing because it’s more costume than fashion, even when trying to imagine the pieces as separates…

Nasir Mazhar Fall/Winter 2016 FW16 LFW

Nasir Masher’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection was basically all black and pretty basic…  I feel as if the stand out looks of the collection were the little bolero (what would we call it?), and the unimpressive shawl-lapel jacket.  …not much else to say about this collection.

Top Man Fall/Winter 2016 FW16

London Fashion Week kicked off with Top Man’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection, which put to rest all of my doubts and fears about embodying the 70’s trend, which it seems to resonate as a continuation of the SS16 trend, as well as a touch of grunge and 90’s, what with the destroyed denim. Velvet in deep dark…
