TOPMAN Autumn Winter 2014 Fashion Show at London Collections: Men
Stylish leather coats, vibrantly colourful knitwear and clean lines feature in Topman’s Autumn/Winter 2014 collection. I like the fine line between baggy and oversized, yet cut, stitched and finished just so! It gives the clothing a high fashion vibe. Watch out for pleated trousers in bright colours and simple yet elegant overcoats in soft colours. Style and comfort seem to harmonise in this collection. Photos courtesy of PHOENIX Magazine.

Classic British quirkiness meets the exotic Orient, is what I could describe this show as! As you can see from the images (below), bicycles and sporty accessories were show alongside tailored retro style office wear set off with brightly coloured accessories. These contrasted with the exotic eastern Asian prints, accessories and props. This interesting and rather entertaining show was styled by fashion director & stylist Hilary Alexander, who’s obviously done a great job! These are the Spring/Summer ’13 trend catwalks, highlighting what will influence women’s wardrobes this season.
