XXY Magazine x Joseph Turvey x T.Lipop at Mahiki - LCM After Party

The main topic from the past week or so have been about the London Collections: Mens. I absolutely love viewing various designers work like Vivienne Westwood Man, Jimmy Choo and of course - Burberry. The other thing I love about the LC:M, is that the aura seems much calmer than LFW, for me there seems to be a lot more focus on the collection than any other matter etc.

Yesterday was XXY Magazine's first fashion week party, celebrating the end of LC:M as well as a presentation of two of the most cutting edge and exciting designers who showcased during the past week  Joseph Turvey & T.Lipop.

The objective of this post is to share with you all an online medium who I have been watching closely throughout the LC:M, as well as thoroughly enjoying their visuals and in love with their commentary as well as their online content. Check out their material.

Rip The Runway UK 2013 with Amor Magazine

So today; I, along with Sachan, went to the most esteemed and independent event of the AW13 fashion season ... 

Rip the Runway UK presenting ODF Clothing AW13 with Trendset UK.

A background of ODF Clothing: Created in 2007, merging the classic preppy look with contemporary fashion, creating a simple yet effective collections. 

It sticks to the norm as well as challenges and sometimes 'rebel' the strict codes of fashion, yet still staying to to the brand's famous moto "standing in to stand out".

A description by ODF Clothing on their brand "As a company it continues to explore internal qualities to the fashion industry, ranging the business market with fresh ideas and holds intentions of being distinguished for being a unique and talented establishment."

So here is what I caught from the collection. I recently bought a new lense and thought that it should make it's debut at the event, if I say so myself, the photographs didn't look half bad ! Might have to use this lense more often ! lol

 

 

 So as you can see, there are practically any piece for any occasion from their new collection, I'm in love with the neon knit with leather sleeves! Plus did you look at them kids ? - ADORABLE ! In addition, it was lovely to still see the use of print, and colors like deep orange and purple's within the collection. 

Loved what Trendset UK and ODF Clothing produced for this fashion show; technically, it was a TASTER, as the grand #RipTheRunwayUK2013 shall commence in June of this year ... won't say so much about what it is about except, follow @riptherunwayuk, @trendsetuk and @amormagazine for more ;) . Our evening was more a preview, and networking at the same time; yet I still had a smashing time with the Amor team.

Men's Spring Summer Essentials

Just in time for the official beginning of Spring :)

So i was looking through GQ magazine (checking out Drake all suited up) and also found some interesting tips about the Spring trend from menswear . So i'd thought i'd share with you :D

Gucci

Tip : They say that a chest stripe is essential for every guy because it gives the illusion of a broad (or broader) chest and helps the definition of your torso. 

Stripes: Striped sweaters have been seen on the runway this season like Gucci and Michael Bastian. I like how they give a combination of sporty and an athletic vibe .

Navy and white striped sweat
Topman
£28

Power Stripe Crew Neck Jumper Asos
£25 

 Pants/Bottoms : its 2012 ... lets try to step out of the basic denim jean ... (let's not be acting chicken now ... might as well try something that you have never done before aye?)

Look towards cargo pants and khakis in COLOUR (and no i don't mean the basic burgundy/khaki green/ ( 'that' typical chino) beige-y cream) ... burnt oranges / blues and mustard yellows ...

And before you even THINK IT ... no you won't look 'gay' ... just try it !! 

Selected Luca Chino
Asos

Green Chinos
Topman (also available in blue)

TEES !!

This is something so SIMPLE yet so EFFECTIVE !!!

You don't have to spend £££/$$$ to get a basic (whether basic or graphic) to have a good tee... just look in some cool places like: 

Topman

£16

River Island
£16

Ames Bros 'Wild Thing' T-Shirt
