Taking influence from the M e m p h i s group, our trend has replicated the artist flow of bold out lines, graphic prints & primary colour palettes. Now lets not take this 80’s trend to literally, it’s all about encorporating the 80s era & reviving it with the latest 2013 fashions.

ASHLEY CARL LLOYD
MASEN BETTS
lee n i c h o ls o n
Ashley is 22 from South East London, scouted at the age of 17, Ash has worked for international fashion magazines such as Vogue Italia and Vogue Homme. Ash is the newest of our three models for this season and jumped at the chance to be on the Topman Design catwalk for both our Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter collections for 2013. Much like Masen and Lee, Ash is a very down to earth Londoner, up for a laugh and ready to brighten up any shoot. Ash has 14 traditional style tattoo’s and he has plans to extend these into a chest piece soon.
Masen is the youngest of our models, he started his career at the age of 14 in catalog shoots for Next, Gap and Marks and Spencer. Since then Masen has spent the last 5 years breaking into the editorial fashion world and has been featured in VMan, Volt Mag and iD. It wasn’t just his natural good looks that made us notice Masen, he has travelled the world and can speak 4 different languages; including Italian, French, Russian and of course English. He is our go to model of the moment and has featured on our Topman Design runway at London and Paris Fashion Week.
We came across Lee when scouting across London in 2011 and we have only just signed him to the Arcadia brand and you may be seeing a lot more of his face within the Arcadia sister companies. Lee is in to his House music and has just finished his Sports Coaching Degree however, we have bigger and better plans for this young man. From 2014 Lee will be one of our International models that will be in the upcoming US campaigns for Topman! The next couple of trends are going to be un-missable & you heard it here
