Men come first in London’s fashion
London Men’s Fashion Week reached a star-studded crescendo last night at Savile Row tailor Richard James’s runway show, attended by A-listers Sir Elton John, David Furnish and rapper Tinie Tempah. It was a fitting way to top off the three-day event, which was opened by Prince Charles at St.James’s Palace on Thursday evening.
It’s the first time that men’s week has been given a dedicated three days, with over sixty scheduled presentations all dedicated to showcasing British talent from rising stars like Agi & Sam to globally recognizable labels such as Nicole Farhi.
In previous years the men’s shows have been tagged onto the final day of the women’s collections with few key international editors and buyers making an appearance due to the scheduling of Milan Fashion Week.
The fact that this outing is being lauded as a “phenomenal success” makes it seem likely that London will remain a regular fixture in the men’s calendar.
Here are some of the highlights from the men’s shows:
Richard James
Hackett
Nicole Farhi
Meadham Kirchoff
