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

Alex Mullins AW18 collection at London Fashion Week Men's

For AW18, Alex Mullins explores the relationship between the right and left functions of the brain. Logical, systematic, mechanical, smart clothing – balances with – imaginative, chaotic and spontaneous.

 The right side focuses on creativity and fragmented thought, this is showcased through intensely colourful localized applications of smashed graphics.

Versus the left side which focuses on analytic thoughts, which are mirrored through Mullins’ tailored looks in a muted palette.

 The collection pays tribute to the futuristic ideals of his early 90s inspirations of SS18. and continues to revisit his on-going interest of encompassing a timeless wardrobe with a contemporary take. Mullins photographed smashed ceramic plates featuring previous seasons muses, digitally printing them onto silk and cotton poplin, creating a surreal flashback of self-reference.

 Mullins clad his models in multi coloured spiral tie dye roll necks paired with tailored pieces,

 cream and camel longline puffer coats

 and shirts with modular cut out detailing feature across the collection.

 Fabrics include charcoal grey and dirty beige corduroy,

and rainbow tie dye velvet

along with two-tone belted stripe denims and grey shearling.

Alex Mullins AW16 Menswear Collection

This season, Mullins has used 'The Process of Boredom' as a basis of inspiration.

Mullins captures the annoying winter temperatures and autumnal transition in to darkness. The cold mind wonders to kitchen sink dramas - wishing your merino coat to grow and engulf with its size,

The bill board adverts ripped sown to become waterproofs.

Sloppy rain echo's the silhouette's wet gravity, baggy jeans pulling you down.

Warped vision of functionality exit here; Neon lights sparkle through the indigo hours.
The Denims range from primitive to surreal displaying the evolution of thoughts.

Laser etching a single moment with the most timeless of fabrics.

Simply romanticizing the idea of waiting for the bus in the cold.

Boredom is necessary
(Boredom is provocative)
ForAW16, Mullins collaborated with photographer Hazel Gaskin to create this seasons figuative textiles. The paint covered garments worn in the photos become the artworks fixed in Perspex.
