AM Golhar's AW11 Knitwear Collection


AM Golhar specialises in men’s knitwear and for her AW11 collection her key look is a variety of polo neck styles.
The colour palette is black and different shades of grey ensuring it’s the textures created by the different knitting techniques that take centre stage.

Blake polo with Thomas joggers
The light silver grey panels of the fitted Blake polo jumper showcase the 3D effect of Am’s signature trellis technique perfectly. 
RRP £110. 

Here worn with a pair of black Thomas cable knit joggers – one of Am’s original jogger designs.  
 She came up with the idea of knitted joggers when thinking of warm cable jumpers. She thought they would be playful and fun to wear whilst being warm and soft. 
The Thomas jogger is slouchy in the crotch area whilst fitted in the leg









Cameron cowl with Blake joggers


The Cameron is an oversized sloppy polo neck using a medium gauge lace hole technique resulting in what AM calls ‘the diamond lace hole effect’.
Giving the illusion of layering the main body is black with medium grey sleeves and cowl.
RRP £120










Bug v neck with Thomas joggers

Adding a touch of colour and plenty of boyish charm is the Bug jumper. RRP £85. this light grey v neck jersey had black rib and cuffs with a yellow bug print.
Worn here with the black Thomas cable knit joggers.

Codey crew with Sam bug joggers


If you’re not ready for so many bugs, then there is always the black Sam bug cotton joggers with just a few of those yellow bugs around the leg bottom. 
RRP £80
Top with the Codey draw string crew jumper in black with grey detailing using a cord technique.
Angora blend RRP £126












Luca hand knit with Ricco leather joggers
For the more rugged look there is Lucas, here in taupe/ grey
RRP £200.
This was originally a show piece with a military style influence and kitted out with major shoulder padding. 
To fit in with the rest of her AW11 collection, Am has redesigned it to become a more wearable slouchy polo.
The polo neck has been layered by picking up stitches to create rolls whilst big hand knitted holes decorate the bottom of the jumper.
Lucas is of an alpaca blend and hand knitted. The original was knitted by Am herself, but now they are sourced out to specialised hand knitters.
Here teamed with Ricco black leather jogging pants £235







Logan cardigan with Thomas joggers


Another hand knit is the hunky Logan chunky cardigan/jacket in taupe
RRP £228.15
It may be chunky but the Alpaca blend ensures it is super soft to the touch.
Worn here with grey Thomas cable knit joggers.













Ashton cable jumper with Theo joggers

Mixing textures and patterns is the Ashton cable crew jumper and the Theo jacquard joggers.
Ashton is an angora blend in light silver grey .Theo is a wool blend in black and grey
Worn here with the angora blend Jayson scarf in black and mid grey stripe trellis.

Ashton


Here’s Ashton again. This time in the darker look of black with charcoal grey.

ASGER JUEL LARSEN AW11 Collection at London Fashion Week


The theme was gothically dark although the looks changed dramatically.

Opening to the sound of horses hooves the model walked on in a Victorian funeral director style long black coat and top hat embellished with crosses. 

The next model followed dressed in a black leather biker jacket with knee high buckled boots.

Inspired by historic events ,the show crossed over the pond to the US with a black leather US cavalry look.

And a black US civil war look.

The Native American appeared, again in black, with black Mohican style feathered headdress, pants with wide open laced up sides and a large metallic warrior necklace cum breastplate. 

Before going back to the civil war this time in shades grey - maybe representing the other side.

The top hat reappeared adorned with long leather ribbons and trousers at half mast

The show lightened up with a monochrome Uncle Sam in black and white embellished with metal spikes. Footwear added a touch of colour in the original red, white and blue stars and stripes.

The next Uncle Sam was hanging on by a thread (or threads). 

 At the end reverting back to the gothic look with fake bones /teeth hanging from a fish net veil

and  a sweeping black cloak and top hat as the finale piece..

Pockets galore with A HALLUCINATION AW11 Collection at London Fashion Week

This collection was a sharp contemporary take on the British dandy...

....with urban city wear influences.style

A mix of the smart city tailored look....,

... to the smart casual.

Jackets and coats had large patch pockets...

...and sleeves in a contrasting colour...

... or as seen here with contrasting yolk and hood.

Slouchy knitwear also came with contrasting coloured  patch pockets, seen here in blue and brown and with contrasting cuffs..

... and here in tones of blue with contrasting sleeves.

The military look crept in with epaulettes on knitwear ...

... and shirts


Some jackets sported a double row of patch pockets. Lots of room to keep your essentials.

But not to be left out, shirts also sported the double row pockets giving a utilitarian look

Colour palette was dark with olive, burgundy, blues and browns.

CAMILLA BRUERBERG AW11 Colelction at London Fashion Week

The inspiration for this collcetion was evolution and traditional craft.

Focusing on a combination of knits and chiffons ...

....and digital prints

Here seen as a bomber jacket with digital printed denim patches.


Here loose baggy knits were mixed with chiffon panels, jogging style trousers with diaphanous side panels.

Lots of layering for the boho traditional craft look...


... plus different coloured yarn and loose looped stitching mixed  with chiffon for the 'here's one we made earlier' craft look.

The knitwear ranged from chunky 


to fine

But all were baggy and relaxed

Moving away from the knits, chiffon gave a more structured look in panelled tops...

... and over digital prints.
The collection had a laid back feel, although there was one cuckoo in the nest in the disguise of the bomber jacket, looking more bovver than boho - but maybe that was the evolution part of the inspiration?


Last but not least was the footwear. Loved them and want a pair myself -basically long socks covered in a digital printed shoe pattern.
