London FW 2010 Menswear Day!! - Topman Design

Menswear day in London, what an amazing day it turned out to be with Topman included in the lineup, one could only think that it would be a spectacular showing. Topman is known for being on trend, very fitted and affordably fashionable, now there is Topman Design, it seems to be the luxe version of the mainstream brand and I like!

The theme was military, kinda reminded me of the ever wonderful Burberry Prorsum 2010 collection, a similar colour palette with greens, blues, reds but the thing about Topman's take on army chic was more relaxed. Looser silhouettes were shown in baggier than usual pants with potato sack waists, and oversized coats but don't worry guys, they still had slim fitted pants in jersey fabric, one in particular with some sick cargo pockets had me smiling from ear to ear, definitely a must have for me this Fall coming!! The other fabric choices were nice as well, with sherling lining, velvet jackets, frayed denim jeans, leather and wool pieces but what set this collection in the right fall mood was the amazing forest tree print, it just worked. As for accessories and shoes, it was kept simple with fingerless mittens and some pretty average yet "fitting of the theme" shoes.

So overall a great collection, it being their first show alone since they used to show with MAN in the past, congrats and I hope that I can swoop up some of these pieces for a good price.
