Christopher Shannon Spring/Summer 2012 collection at London Fashion Week

Shannon keeps his signature sportswear orientated staples but this time with a more formal edge and fitted silhouette giving a more grown up appeal. 

However after saying that there are still the fun touches of youthful playfulness energising the collection:  

 White polka dots on knee length shorts

digital prints 

and the rows of chunky tassels adorning the bottom of shirts,

shorts 

and middle of tops.

Classic colour palette of navy, white, black and grey 

with block colours of bright orange 

and shades of blues.

Shirts and jackets are in the usual Shannon mix of wide strips of colour blocks 

but this time he introduces a patchwork of small squares in the colourful Madras check.

Love the blue madras patchwork check bomber jacket with its plain navy sleeves and the blue madras patchwork check shirt with its white yoke. Both worn with slim jogging pants.

Shannon keeps a boyish charm and adds his own version of eco-friendly by using a mix of different hair combs to create headpieces reminiscent of the Native American headwear.

Footwear by Swear- plimsolls and brogues with raised platforms and two tone block coloured soles.
