LFW: Fashion East and NEWGEN MEN



Hosted in the lovely Terrace Rooms at Somerset Housee, the Fashion East and NEWMGEN MEN installation offered a platform to the brightest menswear talent at LFW.


Agi & Sam
The design duo went for colour and fun this season. Models had their faces painted in bright, distorted clown like guises, whilst the collection took inspiration from mainstream hip-hop in the ’90s. The looks focused on bomber jackets, casual tuxes, cropped trouser and t-shirts, in clashing prints and colours. Tongue in cheek references such as an image of Will Smith were emblazoned across t-shirts, giving the collection a playful edge.

Matthew Miller

Focusing on ‘humanism versus naturalism,’ 
Miller presented a collection of sharp, classic looks, using a pallate of bright block colours set against muted tones and highly functional shapes. The detailing took influence from mountaineering gear, utilising carabiners as buckles, and climbing rope as belts on garments or handles on tote style backpacks. Miller continued the idea through to the print work with bright orange roping on leggings and t-shirts or patterning on knitwear. A stand-out collection.
