Alex Mullins SS19 at London Fashion Week Mens

For SS19, Alex Mullins collection was an eclectic mix of nine different styles showcased in groups of three looks.


First style featured stretchy cutout vests in bright neon colours over suits giving a sporty element to the sartorial look.

2nd style barcode pattern top worn with long shorts or trousers that flared out at the bottom - almost a Star Trek style.

3rd style boxy double breasted suits with meandering panels of contrasting colours.

4th style checkered pants with leather apron style tops - I can't help thinking of a chef's outfit.


5th Style - dove print short sleeve shirts. The dove is shown either hiding behind the background print or above it. Ready for that tropical holiday.


6th style - double breasted suits with splattered paint design. Do we think a dapper decorator or a sartorial artist? Worn with oversized circular belt bags.


7th style - shirts with open slits and embroidered floral designs. Great for keeping your cool.


8th style - shiny raw silk fabric in trench coat styles



Style 9 influenced by the Far East with prints of the Koi carp and Japanes irezumi

Boy By Boy SS17 Men's Collection

This second collection from Boy By Boy is split into 4 design stories: Ground Force, Military, Tech and Leaders.





All the stories are formed for the concept of each of us being watched by the world around, enticed by the convenience and benefits of modern technology and the notion that we have voluntarily become government informants against ourselves.

Ximon Lee SS17 Men's Collection (presented by GQ china)

Ximon Lee views each season as a study, the realization of a sustainable concept to be revisited for the next study after.

His second study is SS17 HARD which is a further exploration of the concealing and uncovering of the body.

The collection is inspired by a growing boy's journey and how his perception of that which is hard and tough is framed by his preconceptions.


The inspiration is reflected in fragile materials that are tailored in hard silhouettes. playing with conventional workwear and unconventional embellishment and placements.


Harsh techniques contrast the serene and the disturbed, including acid-wash, silicone concealing, latex coating and tailored tarpaulin.
