LONDON COLLECTIONS MEN SS14 – DAY 1/ 16.06.13

The London Collections: Men shows commence today and we’ll be covering all three days. We’ve received a huge amount of tickets and invitations and will be reporting to you from the catwalk, backstage and on the street.

Ticket designs are a huge part of all fashion weeks, and LC:M is no exception – here’s some examples. Christopher Raeburn used a thin, flimsy fabric with a camouflage print, giving a strong hint of what we can expect from his SS14 collection. Christopher Shannon is sticking to what’s become his invitation house style, with a photo of one of the less glamorous aspects of Britain, and Agi & Sam have kept their invite fun and comical.

If anything could make us more excited for the shows, it’s these invites. To get more hints of what’s to come, check out our LCM SS14 preview and for all the coverage over the next few days keep checking our collections pages.

#TEST – DODD CLOTHING/ 15.06.13

#Test is the space on our blog for you to showcase your work

Dodd clothing is a new British menswear brand specialising in using high quality fabrics and having all their clothes manufactured here in the UK. They are focused on creating ‘clean, minimal silhouettes that use a fusion of shapes, fabrics and production techniques’.

Dodd are wholesaling a full collection for the first time with their AW13 collection (pictured). And like various London menswear designers at the moment, they’re subtly tweaking traditional pieces and mixing things up with the styling – adding an interesting twist.

For me the stand out pieces and details are the swan coat – the perfect balance of fun and smart, the white trench, and the red, navy and grey stripes on various pieces.
