London Collections: Men - Lou Dalton SS 2013

The beauty of Lou Dalton’s Summer/Spring 2013 collection was it’s simplicity. That being said, every cut and stitch was precise and considered creating a look that was both wearable and functional. The muted colour palette of icy blues, crisp whites, beiges and navy only emphasised Dalton’s high level of craftsmanship. Accents of neon green and maroon complimented the refined silhouette of the Dalton man. The underlying ethos of tailored pieces juxtaposed with the sports-luxe aesthetic was cleverly employed throughout the collection. This is most evident in the mesh panelled jackets and the trainers paired with the well constructed trousers and slim fitted shorts. Dalton’s collection started the first London Collections: Men with a dignified bang, once again showing her passion and obsession for sophisticated menswear.

TOPMAN x NEWGEN: Menswear Rules Britannia

TOPMAN and NEWGEN come together for another brilliant collaboration to celebrate the upcoming showcase, London Collections: Men. The collection is launched on the 7th of June and features designs from top NEWGEN menswear designers Lou Dalton, Katie Eary, SIBLING, Christopher Shannon and James Long. £5 from every purchase will go towards The British Fashion Council's Princess of Wales Charitable Trust which supports young designers.

I’ve got my eyes on the Katie Eary and SIBLING t-shirts, what would you pick? 

London Fashion Week - Ones To Watch

With London Fashion Week fast approaching, I thought I’d do a short run-down of the designers I’m looking forward to seeing next week. I loved their summer collections last year and I’m looking forward to seeing what tricks they will pull out of the bag this time. So without further ado, here are my Ones To Watch with their Fall 2012 inspirations.
