THE BEST SHOWS FROM LONDON FASHION WEEK MEN'S SS19

-
Over the course of the weekend, the 12th season of London Fashion Week Men’s showcased both homegrown and international creativity.
Booming with ingenuity, the spring / summer collections looked to the future of menswear, with a line up packed with fashion fixtures, exciting names and a miscellany of new design talent. 
As a flurry of new trends emerged in the capital, we take a look at some of the standouts from the first two days of shows. 

The work of Khalid Al Qasimi, this season the brand continued its blend of Middle Eastern influences with a distinctly London outlook that was, above all, all about comfort.
For spring summer 2019, Qasimi’s urban nomad continued to explore merging cultures with his travels taking him to the Mediterranean shores of Northern Africa, with a rich heritage of crafts, textiles and colour.
The brand’s signature military influence could be felt in the mix of olive, khaki, burnt orange and sand hues while silhouettes on tonal tracksuits, shirts and shorts were kept soft and fluid, inspired by Eighties editorials and the work of Aldo Fallai, in particular his shoot “...a Marrakech”.
Qasimi also joined forces with a number of brands including Rombaut’s signature “Boccacio” trainers, “The Shaun” sunglasses in custom colour lenses and Sally Sohn jewellery.

The face behind A-Cold-Wall*, Samuel Ross is arguably one of the most talented designers on the British fashion scene right now – and he’s not even 30.
After debuting his utilitarian streetwear label at London Fashion Week Men’s this time last year, his third season was one of the most anticipated shows of the season, and it’s not hard to see why.
A work of art as much as it was a fashion show, A-Cold-Wall*’s spring summer 2019 opened with a crew that resembled Mad Max’s War Boys, smothered in cement and the brand’s signature detachable hoods.

For spring summer 2019, Edward Crutchley delivered a co-ed collection that stepped away from the conceptual in favour of something that felt real and wearable. 
But that’s not to say the designer’s signature intricacy and elaborate fabrications weren’t present. Instead, they were simply tempered with more easy-going silhouettes and shapes that were stripped back to their essential volumes. 
Think the classic oversized jacket reimagined as a sleeveless samurai vest and archival robes that hint at his love of Japanese clothing.



For spring summer 2019 Liam Hodges presented a collection titled “Slick Trash” which came packed with dystopian and coming of age themes.

*XANDER ZHOU*
A designer that’s at the forefront of Chinese talent, Xander Zhou’s exploration of the supernatural and sci-fantasy returned for spring summer 2019. 
Comparative to the rest of this season’s shows, which have been relatively modest, Zhou shook things up with a trip to the space-age future by parading a militia of human/alien hybrid boys, some of whom appeared to be six months pregnant.

How to Dress to Impress Girls It's a common misconception of some that men can't be fashion conscious. Some may not trust their own taste or the taste of their male friends and old fashioned parents.
