I had the pleasure of taking a seat at the recent Mr Hare menswear presentation during London Collections Men, and the new product was showcased in such an imaginative / creative way, using dance and lighting to capture the audiences attention…I for one sat mouth agape throughout, at the sheer brilliance!

With it being so cold outside, one probably shouldn’t be thinking about clothes for SS13, but this #trenchcoat from team #JonathanSaunders is definitely high on must purchase list…

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, is the best way to describe the SS13 ready to wear collection from Baartmans and Siegel.
The design duo, returned to the runway last week, following the success of their AW12 collection presentation at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, to showcase a carefully edited selection of pieces, which centred around a very minimalist colour palette of whites, shades of grey, stone and accented with pops of mint green, ice blue and peach.
Since it’s beginning, the brand have offered it’s young customer, a grown up approach to dressing semi casually, done with it’s playful use of fabrics which shimmer and shine, and the cool looks which are styled in a way that doesn’t intimidate, but instead encourages you to jump on board the B&S ship!
The collection which is called Cuban Crab Catchers, offers a selection of relaxed tailoring 2 pieces, skintight jogging pants, slinky knitwear and classic outwear which bares the Baartmans and Siegel twist.
For a brand who are only onto their second collection presentation to the worlds menswear press, it seems that the fabric isn’t the only thing that shines, this brand definitely has the legs and design talent to go far.

Not content with having the standout show for London Collections Men, Matthew Miller has yet again, put his hand to creating a stellar line of footwear, which perfectly compliments his SS13 ready to wear.
London based shoe company Oliver Sweeney, have returned to the world of Miller, following their AW12 collaboration, and the results for this new offering, are 2 styles which are packed with a Miller Twist, but fused within luxe treatments.
High Gloss Black, White, Grey, and a degrade of the former, are the four simple and minimalist colour ways, which work their way across the two styles, with one pair which allows a welcome return of Millers CCTV wording, that was present on the RTW.
Whilst these aren’t shoes that everyone can wear, you feel compelled to look, touch, and more importantly try on…there are very few tricks with this product, a trainer that rivals Common Projects, classic silhouette, and a shoe which is formal yet playful.
Get involved in the Matthew Miller revolution :)

Mr Matthew Miller, for his SS13 presentation at London Collections Men, to put it VERY simply, showed the strongest looks of any other designer brand over the course of the three day schedule.
Whilst this relatively new menswear label, was amongst a sea of notable and credible designers, from the opening of the show, to the close of look 16, the collection showed the talent of one man, who breathes his life and soul into what he produces season after season, and creating with that a legion of avid fans.
Short shorts, sleeveless jackets, denim with bright white knee patches and shirts inscribed with a cut away CCTV message, all took a confident stride down the runway, in a monochromatic colour palette which showed off the collection to maximum effect. Not to forget what Miller does best though, we were given a dose of print, which made an already beautifully cut suit, even more of a show stopper.
Returning for another season, was a shoe collaboration between Miller and Oliver Sweeney, and if possible, these pieces have outdone the current collection, which are due to hit stores in the next few months for AW12.
This was without a doubt, the standout show of the entire LCM proceedings, and we wish that we could type the prediction of “Big Things” for team Miller, but after seeing his SS13 show, it would take a fool to not clearly see the epic rise that he is embarking upon.
