LC:M Countdown–London Collections: Men kicks off in the AM and as always, there are several collections that we are excited to see. Here, we round up five collections we anticipate and why. Burberry Prorsum (Show/June 17th): Helmed by Christopher Bailey, the fashion label under his direction always ties a smart narrative to the collection, reinventing heritage pieces such as the trench coat for the modern man of style. Topman Design (Show/June 15th): The label is accessible but also aspirational. If fall’s dark slick London motif is anything of a guide, we can expect another hit. Paul Smith (Show/June 17th): Hands on, designer Paul Smith never fails to craft a stylish wardrobe that elevate a British sensibility with a mature charm. J.W. Anderson (Show/June 16th): Since Anderson presents his first collection for Loewe during the upcoming Paris Fashion Week, it will be interesting to see what the eccentric designer does for his namesake label. Alexander McQueen (Show/June 16th): Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton will need to turn a new page in a decadent approach to menswear, renewing interest in the label’s penchant for old styles made fresh.
