Paria Farzaneh AW18 Collection at London Fashion Week Men's

Paria is presenting a raw and deconstructed depiction of the mundanity and repetition of modern life, -a reflection of the state of society as it stands, where identity and function seem to have dwindled whilst the need to document daily life has overtaken the need to live in the moment.

This season, these ideas are displayed in formal pieces, using both technical and traditional detailing

The show is led by sharp suits in waterproof fabrics,

followed by elegant shirting with Iranian fabric piping.

To allow for more personality to show through usually uniform-like garments, Paria has utilised heavy, practical outerwear,

as well as vivid knitwear and accessories.

 Every look is immaculately composed to exhibit how character can still be shown with tailored garments

 Paria’s purpose within design has always been to blend her background with her experiences to seamlessly create strong pieces that will stand the test of time, whilst representing her ideologies and current thoughts.

 Paria believes in creating pieces that don’t force their way into style, but instead become staples within an oversaturated market.

Wood Wood AW19 Menswear at London Fashion Men's

Titled ‘Come Down Easy’ Wood Wood AW19 collection celebrates the great mountains and adventures in nature. With alpine references throughout, the collection mixes the contemporary streetwear of Wood Wood with elements from outdoor living in both prints, styling and details.

 The theme of the collection revolves around skiing, climbing and mountains in general. The alpine vibe works as a thematic framework for the collection and in both print stories, details and patches, there is a nostalgic skiing vibe.

The ‘Come Down Easy’ title, a nod to Spacemen 3, is a direct reference to mountain descents but also refers to a certain state of mind.
Hints of army influences can be found like an updated camouflage pattern from the W.W. archive.

Bobby Abley AW19 Collection at London Fashion Week Men's

For Autumn-Winter 2019, Bobby Abley takes inspiration from his family and hometown of Scarborough, where he worked on the collection.

Abley revisits his childhood; balaclavas, scarves and baby blankets are all replicated, hand knitted by his mother (and other relatives) and incorporated within the collection as one-off pieces.The family team of knitters also created cardigans and jumpers in fluorescent colours – a palette which recurs throughout the collection.

Video of catwalk finale:
The rest of the colours in the collection are inspired by Abley’s favourite characters from Pokémon. Fiery oranges of Charmander,

soft lilac of Mewtwo,

powdery blues of Squirtle

and of course, the unmistakable sunshine yellow of Pikachu.

 These hues appear vividly throughout the collection, along with the characters themselves as repeat motifs.

The Poké Ball is interpreted as a technical poncho, oversized polo shirt, backpack and cross-body bag,

whilst Pokémon-inspired football kits see a return in acid neon.

bley’s characteristic sportswear-inspired and technical fabrics feature heavily, with the addition of corduroy wide-cut trousers,

and a blanket tracksuit with appliquéd leather lettering spelling out ‘Whatever Forever’down the sleeves – the wording of one of the designers many tattoos.
