London Fashion Week Menswear Day

Right, so i couldnt actually be there because i was busy in the North East studying spider webs and their relationship to the formation of the universe and its galaxies (sort of), but this is what ive gathered from the web (not the spider's web) and this is what i think of it.

Christopher Shannon

Just when you think its all clean lines, pure white, and rectangle patchwork out come the tassles ethnic ribbons and sunset face paint, bloody fantastic. A few elements put together here that are very different but look mint. There was lots of cut out layers in big square shapes.
i loved the little tassled bags, they remind me of something i'd pick up in a turkish market on holiday.
After reading up on his inspirations it seems Shannon was inspired by the holidays and travels of his friends and family and holidays which he dreams of taking, hence the face painted sunsets and ethnic embellisments.
