Yesterday saw the end to the London Collection: Men showcase and provided many interesting collections. Below are my three favourites.
Matthew Miller:
Matthew Miller not only provided us with a streamlined collection full of gothic shades, masculine tailoring and jumpers with Born To Fail in bold lettering, but we were also shown the female side of the equation. Crisp white shirts featured in every male look and long coats, in an array of materials and styles, were the staple of the women counter-parts. Miller himself has said that in 2013 the brand will have an “incredibly exciting launch with a multinational online retailer, a series of international exhibitions and the launch of a new digital concept.”
Katie Eary:
Bold silhouettes, floral patterns and materials played a huge role in Katie Eary’s AW13 collection, that also featured something for the girls yesterday. Her playful approach to design lends itself to a luxury streetwear aesthetic and her ideal client is someone who is “treading the monumentally versatile line between Vogue and Vice.”
E.Tautz:
Designer Patrick Grant created a collection for the dapper dan. Fond of his double-breasted suit jackets and chequered prints, the AW13 show boasted classic styling with little contemporary nuances, such as tailored trousers tucked into socks. In perhaps a nod to sixties chic, cloche hats were adorned by each model walking the catwalk. Mr. Allure certainly approved.
