Fashion East and Topman’s MAN have announced the designer line-ups for the January edition of London Fashion Week Men’s, which will take place together for the first time under one roof at the Topman Showspace at the Old Selfridges Hotel.
MAN, which is Fashion East and Topman’s joint talent platform, has revealed that it will continue to support emerging designers Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, Feng Chen Wang and Per Götesson in a group catwalk show.
“Last season’s MAN show lived up to all expectations but I fully expect this season’s to out-do it,” said Topman creative director, Gordon Richardson. “Charles Jeffrey returns to the MAN line-up for the third time and we are intrigued to see what Feng Chen Wang brings to the catwalk this season after such as impressive debut. Per Götesson also returns for a second time but this time around he is showing a full catwalk collection.”
Meanwhile, Fashion East, the non-profit initiative founded by Lulu Kennedy, will be presenting James Buck and Luke Brooks’ Rottingdean Bazaar for the second time following their debut in June, alongside newcomers Art School, another creative duo, comprising Eden Loweth and Tom Barratt for their debut within the group showcase.
Both platforms have launched numerous careers, the MAN platform alumni includes Kim Jones, JW Anderson, Christopher Shannon, Craig Green and Grace Wales Bonner, while Fashion East has showcased Gareth Pugh, Jonathan Saunders, Roksanda, and House of Holland.
London Fashion Week Men’s takes place from January 6-10, 2017 at The Store Studios, 180 Strand.
