CHESTER BARRIE DESIGNS CLOTHES FOR REAL MEN

Subtely refined, the attention is in the detail, and even though it is born on Savile Row, there is something romantically  eccentric about Chester Barrie designs.

Sharp and casual, corduroy dinner jackets are styled with jeans, and polo necks and neck scarves add a bit of mystery. The collection offers the perfect combination for a man who can afford to pay, but doesn't have the time or inclination for bespoke.

A TASTE OF THE ORIENT AT XIMONLEE
​

Offering a stunning collection of almost wearable art, the AW collection from Berlin based Ximon Lee is almost unwearble for the everyday man. Floor sweeping trench coats, oversized collars and pearl encrusted shirts, might not be what a civil servant would wear to work, but a masterpiece of couture nevertheless.

MAHAIRISHI : The Masters of Camoflague

Not just kakhi camo this season, as the designers took inspiration from the American Tour of Vietnam and its presence in Africa in the late 60s and 70s.

This season's military styling embraced hoodies, cloaks and army pants, which were hand painted to add individuality.  Sleeveless robes and kimonos for men and women, highlight the contrast between East and West, which is so fashion relevant.

EDWARD CRUTCHLEY FOR THE LOUNGE LIZARD

Beautiful boys wearing supersoft cashmere, silks and ethically sourced buffalo horn glasses, what is not to like? Edward Crutchley has designed a trans-seasonal collection filled to the brim with elegant tailoring inspired by the 18th century. 

Delicately printed robes, pyjama style suiting and blanket robes make it easy to lounge around in- and not a tracksuit bottom in sight!  The daywear consits of oversized sweaters, t shirts and high waisted trousers, so just as comfy if you need to pop out to a meeting. 

Plenty of oranges and brown will keep you on trend- for more inspo check out here

ART SCHOOL MIGHT BE NEW TO LFWM BUT THEY ARE SETTING TRENDS ALREADY

With a collection inspired by Derke Jarman, The Ballet Russes and the Bauhaus, design duo Eden Loweth and Tom Barratt took non-models to the Topman presentation space to show their gender fluid collection  in a live "rehearsal" performance, where the spectators were voyeurs. 

In fitting with the glam rock aesthetic of the collection, which included men in dresses, Bowie-esque inspired suits, big hair and big makeup for both men and women, and those who do no associate with either, the singing and dancing performance was mesmerising and was certainly more entertaining than some static presentations I have been to.

As a fashion statement, the clothes are going to be a hit with anyone who embraces non-binary fashion, and likes to have fun. Not just for those with a queer identity, these clothes are designed for anyone who wants to wear them. Which is exactly how it should be.

Expect to see more theatrics and fashion from ART SCHOOL.
