Men’s: Hyper-Oriental. KTZ AW14

January 10, 2014January 11, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

KTZ is the moments hottest London based label. Known for it’s rebellious style, it already has big group of fans who wear only the characteristic black & white “yeezy” hype pieces of sweatshirts and sweatpants. But to date, the AW14 collection was the best. Influenced by oriental culture of Middle East, the totally white collection made a big WOW from the mouths of show guests… The parachute coat, HOLY sweatshirt and all these head pieces look so cool and fresh! And the thought that it’s not all in fussy colours but kept in black & white… KTZ is the most desired luxury menswear label for now (Instagram is buzzing about all the time!) and definitely this collection will be best-seller when it hits the stores.

Men’s: Survive. Raeburn AW14

January 9, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Survivalist chic: heavy environmental politics underpinned a collection of arctic coats, heavy duty boots and polar bear prints. This is what Christopher Raeburn’s AW14 collection for men looked like. With some long, fur coats and warm orange jackets, this collection is one of my favourites this season. It looks masculine, comfortable and cool- just what menswear should be like. I’m yours, Raeburn!

Men’s: Power. Kane AW14

Christopher Kane is moment’s biggest designer from UK. His inspiration taken from science, work good for women and for men… And we know that from his previous collections (NOTE: AW13 chemistry theme and SS14 biological flower anatomy)! The menswear AW14 collection was a mix of elegant clothes and prints that was full of nuclear power- my favourite piece from the collection was definitely the printed t-shirt with an atom motive on. With Christopher Kane, we are getting really cosmic now!

Men’s: Ceremony. Craig Green AW14

January 7, 2014September 3, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Craig Green, one of the menswear designer of MAN LCM in London, showed his new show yesterday. Known for wooden structures and dyed costumes worn by men, Green changed his fashion perspective into something more ready-to-wear. His AW14 collection was all about hand-painted utilitarian coats and harness accessories. The models went down the runway in long, oversized coats, reassembling a pilgrim or something like that… The collection felt a bit mysterious and harsh. But- the clothes were beautiful. Dark, hand painted cotton robes and trousers are the new fashion ceremonials created by the fresh face of London menswear scene, Craig Green!

Men’s: Farmer Boys. Lou Dalton

January 6, 2014January 6, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

The AW14 season have just begun for men in London, where the LCM fashion week is now on. The first designer to open the London Collections Man was Lou Dalton, who is known till now for great tailoring and fresh look for classical menswear. The collection was all about good-dressed farm hands with an air of punk in them. Traditional clothes were done with lots of bleaching. However, the show wasn’t so suprise-less! Some unexpected details were the pink acid dyed denim-on-denim elements and a peep of camo print. The show was a bit inspired with men who left everything behind and went on war- tradition versus something more rebellious.
