Coach 


The Coach brand stands for authenticity, innovation, and relevance. Coach is always a high anticipated show to watch to help gauge the type of leather ensambles that will be in season for the next year as they are pioneers in leather goods, having established themselves as the original American house of leather during the second half of the 20th Century. 

John Smedley 

Iconic styles born from the understanding that something expertly crafted can last a lifetime, with their roots in the Derbyshire countryside since 1784 John Smedley continue to create the finest knitwear made in Britain today. Understated elegance and minimalist yet luxurious detailing are key for their brand.

Katie Eary 



Taking cue from Irvine Welsh and William Burroughs, Earys collections are created in the spirit of disobedience. But this is protest, not chaos. Attention to detail comes form hand-crafted leather, wool and brass. Subversive silhouettes are refined in fine tailoring, informed by techniques of Savile Row. Eary takes from the lords and gives to the revolutionaries in unabashed print and colour - drawing from the house acid scene, cybergoths, shufflers and football thugs.

Masion Mihara Yasuhiro



While attending the University, he created his first pairs of shoes and discovered the unique design that would be used in many of creations when he started his own label “MIHARAYASUHIRO” in 1996.
MIHARAYASUHIRO receives a high evaluation in the world due to its uniqueness and highly designed details which can been seen not only in shoes but in his apparel collections. Mihara first took part in Milano Collection in 2006 and has continuously participated in Paris Collection from 2007. The SS09 collection was chosen by Mensstyle.com as one of the TOP 10 greatest Men’s designer collections shown in Paris.

Hardy Amies 



Born in London’s Maida Vale in 1903, Hardy Amies opened the doors of his Savile Row headquarters in 1945 and soon became a pioneer of British tailoring. Although not a signature tailored look, this more modern outfit has an essence of tailoring with a 21st century twist. 

Lou Dalton



One of the few female designers on the British Menswear scene, Lou Dalton has fast become a figurehead for home-grown talent at London Collections Men. Her USP is having an innate & all-encompassing understanding of what men want from their clothes: practicality, a dash of adventure and above all else, something that makes the wearer look damn good. This tailored sports luxe style certainly encompasses all three.

Mackintosh 

In 1823, Charles Macintosh developed the now iconic rubberised fabric, and thereafter the original Mackintosh coat was made. The brand has come a long way since and in this modern age, where quality often counts for nothing, Mackintosh builds on the quality traditions of its forefathers whilst improving these with modern production methods. Every genuine Mackintosh garment is carefully hand made by skilled operatives who have spent years perfecting the techniques required to make a true Mackintosh. 

Matthew Miller


Matthew Miller has a design philosophy that positions fashion as a product, just like ceramics or furniture, balancing simple manufacturing values with an artist’s approach to his craft. Miller sees the wearer as integral to a garment’s worth, raising its importance as soon as it’s worn because of the cultural capital accrued depending on what he or she does in it - or to it - and so developing the inherent character of each piece.

MCM X Christoper Raeburn 
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, German luxury purveyor MCM collaborates with British fashion designer Christopher Raeburn to reimagine the brand's iconic cognac Visetos canvas in his signature RE-MADE aesthetic. The pioneering Raeburn deconstructs and reconstructs original MCM bags, transforming them into a bold, surprising capsule collection of ready-to-wear and accessories made for today's global nomad. An infusion of camo print, a lovable bomber jacket and the colour blue makes this outfit a winner.

London Collections: Mens kicked off on Thursday as parties hosted by Harvey Nichols, Paul Smith and Vman, brought the cream della cream of the mens fashion world together for five days of action packed shows, presentations and after parties. 

Friday morning saw the start of the four day long events to take place at the BFC venue and the Topman Show Space with shows by Oliver Spencer, Topman and recent winner or the BFC/GQ Designer Menswear Fund, Craig Green, to name a few. 

Here is a look at some of the best looks from the days shows. 


Astrid Andersen



The 2010 Royal College of art graduate has become a serious player in the menswear world having received support from Fashion East installations, MANSHOW and most is now showing at LCM as part of the NEWGEN sponsorship scheme. A leading lady in the sports luxe department her shows and desingers have gone on to inspire a trend for a young generation. Here the Adidas inspired joggers with the multi textured bomber jacket and oversized tee is a great ready-to-wear outfit. 

Barbour 



Hailing from the North East, this collection certainly stays true to its roots. Still based in South Shields, the brand’s original maritime heritage of providing clothing for fishermen and the constant influence of the adjacent North Sea are strongly referenced in our Spring Summer 17 showcase. This expert combination of colouring and layering with added details such as neckachief and bucket hat proofs that even on the high seas once can still look stylish. 

CMMN SWDN



Having worked under and set up Kanye's Paris studio, the CMMN SWDN duo consiting of Saif Bakr and Emma Hedlund, wanted to start their own label aiming to create hybrid quality wardrobe staples mixed with progressive standout pieces. Drawing inspiration from youth sub-cultures, fused with the elegance of classic sartorial menswear, CMMN propose a new image of masculinity. They have certainly created it with this 70's inspired collection.


Oliver Spencer 

With probably the best show of the week landing on the first day, I could only imagine the ticket for this were like gold dust. For the lucky few to nab a seat, including David Gandy, Nial Horran and Oliver Cheshire, they were certainly in for the treat. The Oliver Spencer show is always one to look forward to because his ready-to-wear pieces set the bar for how your wardrobe should be looking for next season. That is exactly why I couldn't pick just one outfit!  

Topman 


Again, due to the sheer size of this collection (it's about 4 collection in one show!) one outfit was not enough. When you're name is on one of the events spaces you most definitely have to put on a show. Embracing the wet look hair and a lot of tonal nudes they certainly shows us that short shorts are the way to go! Topman gives us an insight into how the high street will be looking like, although I do see some similarities in some outfits from past years and some of it did remind me of the Gucci cruise show. 

Universal Works

The furtherst away from the rest of the brands is Universal Works. A truly honest and British brand, that aims to create clothing that is internationally universal whilst embodying a distinctly British feel. The collections are always subtle and contemporary, never brash and outlandish but simple ready-to-wear pieces that will fit into any mans wardrobe

Having recently moved to London, I've been stuck for places to eat, drink and socialise. So when a friend told me about a new Tinderesque app that is circling around London, I thought yea why not, I swipe yes or no for girls why not for the other great pleasures in my life; bars, restaurants and shops. The app I am talking about is called Wonder App and boy is it a wonder[ful] app.

If you are new to the city, looking for a date location or just simply wanting to find a few new hot spots and be the first to know about new pop up events, this app is for you.

The app takes into account your age, sex, location and interests, then the boffins who created the app work on an algorithm that takes into account all those factors. Within in flash it compiles a list of bars, restaurants, shops and events to cater for your needs. After that you then simply swipe right or left for yes or no. It also gives you a few other indications like £ sign for price of the place (1x£ = cheap and cheerful 5x£ = expensive and bank breaking) and also how many other people have liked that place. The apps ethos is to surprise the audience, they strive to find the places you might not think of going to.

The app is so quick and simple to use! You can plan your whole week using this thing. Taking a girl on a date? Open this baby up and see what fun things are going on in your area. Looking for a place to grab some lunch but don't know the area? Wonder will find the best place for you. Your mother coming down for a visit? Switch the category to 'Culture Vulture' and find out what west end shows and art exhibitions are on this weekend.
Wonder is currently only available for Iphones on the app store but the team behind it are working effortlessly to get it onto android. As well as being in London the app has launched in New York with a few more European cities to be added to the map later this year. So keep your eyes peeled.

With scouts running around the city every week finding new and exciting events and venues, you will have plenty of inspiration for your next rendezvous.

Oh its also free #winning
