LFW S/S 11. MAN SHOW.

Martine Rose S/S 11

I was very excited to see what had come from the MAN show at Royal Opera House for its Spring Summer edition, and I wasn't disappointed. The first designer was Martine Rose, aptly titled 'cut-and-paste' her collection mashed a varity of ideas together. From military bullet proof style jackets to ornate, interior prints, I loved the brocade prints and tailoring of the looks.

 Girl on the Streets has the same military/feminine energy as the  'cut-and-paste' collection

Felipe Rojas Llanos. S/S 11.

Felipe Rojas Llanos's menswear S/S 11 collection had beautiful simple silloehttes. I really love the rich colour palette of indigo blue that stood out inbetween the other collections at MAN, slight rounded drop shoulders contrasted with cutting, angular hems. And with light and shiny silks and crisp white shirts, the result was high quality with a minimalist slant. Based on a novel called 'Legion of Super Heroes' there was a definate playful edge with the last look including a super hero cape.

New Power Studio. S/S 11.

Last but not least, New Power Studio S/S 11 Menswear collection was a sure spectical. The show started with a casual aesthetic of pastel shirts and tracksuit style trousers, a group then danced onto the catwalk draped in toliet paper scarfs which I wasn't too sure about but as Thom Murphy was inspired by domestic items from his new flat finished the collection with jackets based from mops and rubber gloves it all seemed to make sense and ended the MAN show on a high.

The 'domestic' inspired pieces really reminded me of the 2009 Vogue shoot where house hold objects were used to create clothes on a budget.
