Topman and Fashion East present London menswear

London Fashion Week got off to a soaring start with the debut of Fashion East and Topman Design menswear shows on Tuesday.

Topman Design was definitely the highlight of the evening, promising a runway of dark gothic horror starring solemn looking boys. Whilst Fashion East seems to attract many directional guises, Topshop stole the show and presented a collection of revolutionary menswear. Coachman jackets were paired with laundered dress shirts and narrow printed jeans. Sharp-double breasted tailoring resonated with Dior Homme inspiration but was less stiff. Tie-neck shirts, biker boots and plaid baseball jackets topped off the looks. Obviously not for the fashion faint-hearted.
