London Collections: Men - TOPMAN DESIGN SS 2013

Possibly one of the most obvious trends seen in the TOPMAN DESIGN SS 13 collection was the short suit. Graphic floral prints inspired by graffiti artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat were paired with suits made from classic Prince of Wales check fabric. Neoprene cycling shorts were worn under tailored shorts for a contemporary look and accessorised with fluoro beanies. As is custom with TOPMAN DESIGN collections, the attention to detail was brilliant, especially the perforated suede biker jackets and the cut-away boots worn with socks. Cropped football jerseys in block colours reflected the youthful, relaxed feel of the collection, probably not the easiest trend to pull off though. It will be interesting to see how the neon-saturated colour palette filters into the mass market next spring.

ShortList is probably the only free weekly publications I enjoy reading on the tube. Britain’s biggest men’s lifestyle magazine has released 3 limited edition covers for it’s London Collections: Men Style Special Issue. Topman Design, Liam Gallagher and Oliver Spencer were drafted in to design these limited edition covers which are available from today. So far I’ve managed to get images of the covers designed by Topman and Liam Gallagher, look out for the last one soon!

London Fashion Week AW 2012 - Topman Design

The TOPMAN DESIGN show was definitely a monochrome affair, with models taking to the runway in various tones of black and grey. This was probably one of only a few London shows that featured a really reserved colour palette but it made up for that in texture and layering. You can tell from the images that they’ve used quality fabrics. What I loved about this collection was the great, slim silhouette and the attention to detail. I really liked the idea of the cinched waist with the overcoat. My favourite pieces would have to be the fur lined biker jacket and the shaggy overcoat below.

Here’s a big shout out to everyone that watched the TOPMAN DESIGN live stream from my blog, thanks for the love!
