Day two of London collection men’s had Nasir Mazhar, Christopher Raeburn, Allex Mullins showcasing what we can look forward to wearing in SS17. The days highlight was Nasir Mazhar show as the designer injected colour into his usually monochrome androgynous looks. With reds, blues and greens seem to be a theme in his distinctive style which is sporty, street style and inspired by the adventurer.
MCM X Christopher Raeburn featured a sharper, redesigned camouflage print in shades of silver grey, canary yellow and ocean blue paired with navy and black and styled with the reworked classic canvas bag pack in matching vibrant hues.
Agi & Sam explored menswear in upholstered jacquards, with slim trousers and fitted zip-up jackets and unisex brothel creepers shoes. Hardy Amies, an all denim show had denim jackets with silver branded buttons teamed with bleached, knee-torn jeans and tuxedo jackets with less structure in its fitting.
Matthew Miller showcased both men’s and women’s wear clothes, there was bleached denim and a skinhead aesthetic, bomber jacket with pin badges styled over a blazer and loosely cut trousers.
It was a kaleidoscopic 60s-inspired collection of neon colors, trippy patchwork with flower power. It’s all the different ethnicities of Los Angeles—there’s Indian, Guatemalan, Mexican. I did pop flower that was the very surfer style of the ‘60s LA. Like things I love to wear, there were beads and the bohemian look and goth, but all in a very pop way said Scot about the collection.
The latest hair trend taking over social media is boxer braids, but is the style really that new? Regardless of the fact that black women have been wearing the style since forever. While there’s nothing wrong with the style and people wanting to copy the look, braids are not a “new favorite” and simply an old classic: Cornrows, similar to braid styles like French braids that have been around for decades.
The boxer braid look is no-fuss, low maintenance – and works just as well in the gym or the boxing ring as on the red carpet.
