Fashion Editor: Savannah Barthorpe Photographer: VICTOR JONES Having previously been inspired by scenes such as the kitchen and the bedroom, this season Henrik Vibskov’s inspiration continues into the bathroom. The deeply personal rituals of washing and getting ready for the day ahead is what inspired Vibskov. The steam from the hot shower fills the room and we emerge fresh with rosy cheeks and wet hair as referenced in makeup and hair during the cat walk show. The collection reflects the theme in various ways; special jacquards in the clothing design, inspired by vintage bathrooms structures, colour and pattern, prints of flowing water, soap bubbles, and glossy surfaces inspired by steam and water drops. This season 95% of all the range are made with sustainable materials. The fabrics have outerwear that are made in 100% recycled Pet bottles, and using wool from Norway where the sheep grace freely in the scenic landscape. Showing a mixed style referencing the 1970s, and a more urban modern style; Henrik Vibskov’s again defines the upcoming fashion styles for next season.

Fashion Editor: Savannah Barthorpe Photographer: Chris Yates The latest season AW2020 from Art School directed by creative partnership Eden Loweth and Tom Barratt bring a collaboration with British artist Maggi Hamblingon several pieces, using layers of black fabric representing pail paint. In turn, each layer consists of recycled material from previous collections, to connect and acknowledge with the importance of the past and the biography of material. The artist smock is at the core of several looks, with a note to genderless workwear. Using contrasting fabrics such as PVC and rope suggesting a rebellion of PUNK into the ethos. Artist Richard Porter joined Art School for a second season, developing sculpture which is worn on the body. Each piece plays a autobiography with British landscape; Traces of rocks, driftwood, fossils and witchstones reference the sea. PR: Thelabbylondon
Fashion Editor: Savannah Barthorpe Arts Editor: Christopher George Photography: Cassian Thomas De Cruz Feng Chen Wang AW202 collection hits London Fashion Week Mens catwalk running!! This distinctive and directional collection streams futurism with functionality, flair with drama, nature with emotions. The narrative of this collections along with the colours, waiting and hoping for dawn – especially during hard times – that forms the foundation of the collection. This season, Feng Chen Wang reminds us not to give up and encourages us to keep on climbing, step by step. Tough times may lie ahead but, as this collection hopes to remind us, dawn will surely come. The colours of the collection take inspiration from the dawn she witnessed in the Wuyi Mountains: darker, cooler shades such as icy greys and blues give way to brighter, warmer hues such as fiery reds. Meanwhile, the feeling of the dawn is expressed through various graphic patterns. PR Karla Otto
Fashion Editor: Savannah Barthorpe Eastwood Danso's designs are rooted in his interest in creating a visual commentary on heritage, politics, and identity. Exploration of the self is key to AW20, from flesh and bone to the mind and senses. Danso is captivated by the symbiotic relationship between our own self-view and other people’s view of us. Religion has been a key part of Danso’s life – attending church is an abiding memory from his youth, but that’s not to say this collection is overtly religious. Rather the idea of rebirth – taken from his father’s born again Christianity has been a source of inspiration to him. The leaving behind of a past life is mirrored in the fusion of tailoring and leisurewear, many of the clothes he has created are an alteration on a traditional trope, no longer fitting into a known category. Danso continued collaboration with Converse, as he presents conceptual takes of the brand’s classic silhouettes, like the recently reintroduced Pro Leather, in his AW20 show. PR @agencyeleven
