Here Come The Boys! Men’s Fashion Week Weekend Special

Versace, Prada, Alexander McQueen… it’s not just the ladies that get to enjoy the world’s greatest brands! This weekend FashionTV transports you to the Men’s Fashion Week catwalks for our Weekend Special. Tune in: January 23-25.

As the Fall/Winter 2015-16 season reaches it’s last leg in Paris, this weekend, all weekend, FashionTV invites you to kick back, relax and enjoy all the hottest shows from the latest menswear collections.

So, what have been the highlights so far?

Snoop Dogg on stage in Milan

From Snoop Dogg to Swan Lake; the Philipp Plein Fall/Winter 2015-16 show in Milan was as eclectic as ever. To open, Snoop Dogg took to the wrestling cage to perform while Plein’s warriors marched in sportswear, leather and light-up LED trainers. And FashionTV was on the front row to capture it all.

20th Anniversary of DSquared2

Our favourite fashion duo, DSquared2, have always held an affinity for fashion and music, and this season was no different. Inviting soul queen Mary J. Blige to help them celebrate their 20th anniversary show, the songstress serenaded models down the catwalk in a former airplane hangar-turned-art gallery. The collection was rich in Canadian mountaineer looks, a surprisingly relaxed choice for the fashion forward twins, but this was not just meant to be a show, it was a party… Dean and Dan style.

Burberry Men… Need we say more?

Models Liu Wen, Jourdan Dunn and David Gandy were on the front row to witness Christopher Bailey’s bohemian take on the Fall/Winter 2015-16 Burberry trends. Accompanying the London Hyde Park show, music prodigee Clare Maguire took to the stage to perform “House of the Rising Sun” and other ballads.

Topman Design open the collections

Topman Design was the show that kicked off the entire Men’s Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2015-16 season. Playing an ode to 10 iconic 70s rock stars which came by way of cropped tops, flares and shaggy faux-fur jackets.

Tune in to FashionTV, this weekend for the full Men’s Fashion Week review!

London Collections: Men Fall/Winter 2015 Highlights

Alexander McQueen’s military man, Burberry Prorsum’s classical bohemian, Topman’s 70s revival. All the biggest brands were at London Collections: Men, and this is what they had to say about next Fall’s trends…

Now in its third year, London Collections: Men brought the hottest menswear designers and showcases from across the globe to shine a spotlight on the new Fall/Winter 2015 trends. And FashionTV was there to capture it all.

Alexander McQueen: Military Looks Good

Enter McQueen world, menswear style. This season, was all about raw-edge uniform. Whether for “work or war” the dress uniform has long stood as a symbol that all men are equal in the face of duty. With the military jacket, poppy blooms and other military references featuring heavily in the new Fall/Winter 2015 collection, McQueen menswear had one message to all: Stand strong in the face of separation.

Burberry Prorsum: Classically Bohemian

Putting on a familiar show at the staple Kensington Gardens venue, Christopher Bailey offered a free-spirited take on classic pieces for the Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2015 menswear show. And ready on the front-row were fashion’s finest VIP guests, including Anna Wintour, David Gandy and Jourdan Dunn. Check out the collections of deconstructed shapes and authentic fabrics in deep, natural tones, below.

Topman: ’70s Revival

Opening this year’s London Collections: Men showcase, Topman took the coveted spot, presenting a collection of Shang-A-Lang! 70s revival fashion for the new season. Leading the look book with an ode to 10 iconic musicians of the era to include Iggy Pop, Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hendrix and more; Topman successfully revived their definitive style.

 

5 Reasons We’re Excited For Men’s Fashion Week!

It’s time to warm up for the Spring 2015 collections, as Men’s Fashion Week kicks off in London before heading to Milan and then Paris. This season, we have a feeling it’s going to take the fashion world by storm!

FashionTV will be bringing you full coverage from all the hottest shows at London Collections: Men, Milan and Paris. So what can we expect from the weeks ahead?

1. Here Come the Boys!

Male models are busy making their stamp on the fashion world and ones to look out for this season include the face of Tom Ford sunglasses Conrad Bromfield, devilishly handsome Aussie Tom Bull, unquestionably sexy Jon Kortajarena and British model-DJ Jack Guinness!


2. Front Row Action

London will certainly see some well-dressed men such as Harry Styles and Tinie Tempah on the front-row, as well as the ever-gorgeous model and style extraordinaire, David Gandy and David Beckham representing at Belstaff. While in Paris we can expect to look out for Kanye West at the Givenchy or Maison Martin Margiela shows.

3. Upping the Style Stakes

It’s a feast for the eyes: dapperlads donning suits and ties in London, gladiator sandals and shorts in Milan, man bags and capes in Paris – you name it, there’s nothing tame about men’s fashion these days!

4. Design WARS!

Saint Laurent, Raf Simons, Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana, Cavalli, Dsquared2, Vivienne Westwood and Burberry Prorsum are just some of the brands that are bound to present some fierce collections, but who will win the title for most memorable collection?!

5. The Beard! Still trending or fashion Faux-Pas?

We recently read that hipster “wannabes” are paying thousands of dollars for facial implants to create the perfect beard. And 2013 was undoubtedly the year of the beard. But word has it that the beard is so last-year! Will we be seeing cleanly shaven models on the catwalks or rugged men? Stay tuned to find out!
