London Collections: Men SS16 Opening
London Collections: Men SS16 are set to commence and showcase high-end British and international menswear design.
Past seasons have brought an invigorating blend of emerging as well as established designers presenting a rich variety in collections. From structured reinterpretations of iconic, traditional British menswear and tailoring, to innovative street and pop-infused designs, London Collections: Men have confirmed London as a one of the world’s menswear capitals.
SS14 collections saw a revive in classic, timeless British cuts in trench coats, vests, pants and blazers, bringing back the glory of past times. In a radically different season, SS15 collections saw a burst in colour, seeing contemporary across street and pop inspirations infiltrate the runway. This showed a different side to the London Collections: Men.
With a high standard set by past years we turn our focus to the new season, which is set to bring an array of emerging and established, local and global as well as returning and newly added designers to the London Collections schedule.
