MAN, a collaboration between Topman and talent-incubator Fashion East, always gets my money for the most excited menswear offering from London Fashion Week. This was the 5th show and with an exception panel including Luke Day (Fashion Director ATTITUDE) Ben Reardon (Editor i-D MAGAZINE) and Tim Blanks (Contributing Editor STYLE.COM) it was no surprise they got it right.
Three new names where announced to show alongside Topman Design: Hans Christian Madsen, James Long and Kesh. Long got most of the attention on the night with his harness-like pieces made from sheepskin and leather, and featured already in Dazed & Confused, i-D Magazine, Another Man and Numero.
My favorite, however, was Hans Christian Madsen, whose pieces are informed by a 50s aesthetic with a minimal masculinity. His knitwear – and I love nothing more than good men’s knitwear – beat Long’s harnesses in the show-stealing arm wrestle.
