Fall 2015 Menswear Overview

Although I am a womenswear designer I am always drawn to menswear. Whether that is due to the intrinsic attention to detail, finishings, linear aspect who knows. So far the collections that I most relate to are Louis Vuitton, Loewe and Lemaire. Each show shows classicism but with new found energy, I put this down to the creative minds behind these brands. Which include Kim jones, J.W. Anderson and Christopher Lemaire.

My Picks - J.W. Anderson Pre-Fall 15 RTW

A mishmash of eras, evoking nostalgia.

My Picks - JW Anderson SS15 RTW

The oversized floppy fisherman hat took centre stage at JW Anderson's SS15 show. The bigger the better, so some may say. 

Garments had an architectural feel. Geometric shapes were constructed in leather and added through details such as the oversized buttons and lapels.

My Picks - SS15 Menswear London Detail Shots

Here are some of the details and styling I like so far this season. Margaret Howell has portrayed a classic British fishing scene complete with slim neck scarves. J.W. Anderson has combined preppy looks with sportswear elements. 

Finally, Pringle of Scotland has stayed true to its roots, developing fractured knitted jacquards and checks complimented by strong tailored concepts.

My Picks - J.W. Anderson Resort 2015

The impact of the LVMH investment is still relatively new. Having said that J.W. Anderson's Resort collection comprises of a wider variety of silhouettes, a multitude of fabrications and an expanse of accessories. Creative ideas that have been touched on in previous seasons have been developed, showcasing a more dynamic range.

 Minimal, forward thinking knits, distorted proportions, these are all traits of the J W Anderson muse be it boy or girl!

My Picks - J.W. Anderson SS14 RTW

Speculation is rife. Have they, haven't they? Will he, won't he? J.W. Anderson is currently in the international spotlight, and word has it LVMH are keen to get his brand on their books. 

This is such an exciting time for an experimental, London based brand.

My Picks - J.W. Anderson Fall 13 RTW

J.W.Anderson is excelling. Following in the footsteps of Kane heading up the 'Versus' line at Versace. Also with two successful capsule collections under his belt in conjunction with Topshop. 

 

His main line collection had a conceptual edge, highlighted with abstract techniques and colour blocking. I don't know about you, but I'm excited to see the brand develop.
