Imagine a place where our love wasn’t illegal, forbidden,… A place where everybody could love without being restained…
Where every emotion is symbolised with million colors and little phares.
Where loving someone was never boring, feels exciting and makes you feel you belong somewhere. Imagine a love like this…Awake.

LONDON FASHION WEEK AUTUMN WINTER 2019 Raeburn AW19 fashion show Three key words define Raeburn’s design ethos – REMADE, REDUCED, RECYCLED – which complement Timberland’s longstanding commitment to make products responsibly and steadily increase its use of recycled, organic and renewable materials over time. Raeburn also heralds craftsmanship and utility as central to his design philosophy, again creating a natural connection to the Timberland® brand. In this collection we find collaboration pieces, constructed from recycled and organic materials, inclusive of ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear. Aesthetically, the collection leverages geometric colour-blocking in utilitarian hues of red, grey, black and olive. Raeburn utilized decommissioned military parachutes used by air force pilots to re-create original Timberland silhouettes, including the brand’s iconic Weatherbreaker Jacket.

Private Policy NY AW 19 fashion show The private policy designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu presented there autumn/winter 2019 collection by GQ at London Fashion Week Men’s. The collection tells the story of bankers, workers, police offcers and robbers. Pieces ranged from tailored outerwear, quilted vests and harnesses, to denim wear. The streetwear-styled collection had an easy-going flow and was composed of a color palette of rich browns, greys and black with pops of gold and orange. For each one of us, there is a role to chose.
Phoebe English AW19 runway show PHOEBE ENGLISH is a Womenswear and Menswear label founded in 2011. Based in South London, Phoebe English pieces are entirely made in England from start to finish. She is a designer who pays attention to Sustainable fashion which is about meeting today’s needs while ensuring that the way we go about meeting those needs meet future needs as well. Sustainable fashion is also about benefitting the people involved throughout the fashion supply chain – from farmers to consumers to everyone working in end-of-life facilities such as recycling factories. The designer answer to achieve a zero-waste fashion industry: “I wanted to fill this collection with lots of different solutions to the way the industry can be quite wasteful,”. “I’ve been trying to choose raw materials that are mindful of the environment.” These results are embedded in this collection. She sourced buttons made from milk protein, rather than plastic or animal products. She asks her factories to return the offcuts of the fabric she supplies them; they’ve been recombined into patchworked jackets, apron dresses, and a collaged collarless man’s shirt here. And to reduce her carbon footprint, she used fabrics “that don’t have to travel so far” from around Britain, including “lovely traditional Welsh flannel, waxed cotton from Ireland, and beautiful English cotton shirting, which is being made in England.

Per Götesson AW19 runway show Per Götesson Autumn/Winter 2019 collection features many pieces that may appear flat in images, but in reality, billow out behind the models as they move down the runway. Plaid trousers with a layer draping over the front of the slim leg, seemingly engulfing the foot. A lattice knit was layered over a sweater creating wonderful three dimensional structures that weaved over the body. Jackets in collaboration with Kathy feature a zip-able layer over the shoulders and arms, which swell out and flap as the models pass. Denim trousers were expertly reworked, with zippers spiralling around the waist in a V-shape. One pair featured a cut out, wrapping around each leg and draping behind in a skirt like fashion. An inverted denim pair created a rather incomplete feeling, serving as a display of his process and learning. Per describes his collection as dreams of travel, ships in a bottle, experimentation with new forms and learning about traditions”. This ‘ship in a bottle’ metaphor is evident through his use of jewellery, in collaboration with Husam El Odeh. Broken glass jewellery is seen covering a denim vest and hanging between the shoulder and waist, almost like a bag strap. Lighters, bottle necks, and glass shards are pinned to the clothes, in the shape of boats, further continuing this metaphor.
Michiko Koshino AW19 collection presentation At the runway show of Michiko it was as walking into a maze. It was as navigating through a Labyrint set up for visitors at his event at London Fashion Week Men’s. I was a bit hesitant but finally glad I had this experience because I even met a priestess who prayed for me for may blessings. For in the presentation of his collection, Michiko Koshino took inspiration from her own “Motor King” collection from the 80s and brings her unique style to today’s generation. Filled with structured silhouettes, linear textures, heavy cotton, mixed-waxed fabrics, nylon, leather and a blending of khakis, fluorescent shades and color blocking, there was nothing scary at all.

Jordan Luca AW19 collection presentation – The mind of a man is his vice This 2019 Autumn/Winter Jordanluca collection not only harkens back to the roots of its Italian heritage whilst blending seamlessly with the intensity and rawness of London looks, but breaks away from any choice to take the safe conceptual road. The collection presentation state that they aimed to explore “the mind of a man compelled by vice and presents the conflict of predatory obsession through a muted and studied third collection”. On the visual side we see that mattresses are pressed upright against the wall, surrounded by scattered white bras and briefs. It’s very daring and it’s like walking into a man’s bedroom.

Quasimi AW19 runway show For the label’s AW19 jaunt its creative director Khalid Al Qasimi transported us to an imagined future paradise. In response to our present socio-political milieu, he crafted a collection with comfort as its core, but a comfort achieved by acclimation to an uncomfortable situation. The show notes signalled a utopian influence laying the foundation for menswear an urban nomad would wear to transport him to a place of idyll – in other words, cosy, stylish and sumptuous clothing. Using shades of brown, grey, plum and navy with pops of lime and sorbet, the eponymous designer sent 33 looks down the catwalk. On top there were voluminous coats, boxy shirts, biker and flak jackets, and rounded bomber jackets. These were mixed with cargo pants, short shorts and sweatpants. A la Qasimi’s vision, Autumn Winter 2019 presents clothing that lets us imagine the idyllic in an imperfect reality. Not a bad idea, considering all things.

Liam Hodges AW19 runway show British born, London based, Liam Hodges has interest in ‘an expressive, polysyllabic masculinity’. His brand has been labeled a luxury brand for the mad and bad ones who are desirous of everything and those who foresake conformity everyday not just at the weekend. Signature Liam Hodges means wide silhouettes, patch working, hard wearing workwear and sportswear; influences drawn from modern male subcultures, English paganism, Hip-Hop skatewear, UK streetwear and Post-Punk. His collection – titled “Mutations in the 4th Dimension” – takes inspiration from a wide range of sources, with a T-shirt referencing 1995 movie Hackers, asymmetrical graphics influenced by Y2K, and tracksuits based on the tesseract, a four-dimensional geometric shape.

Band of outsiders FW19 collection presentation Band of Outsiders’ Creative Director Angelo Van Mol looked at the moon landing as a pioneering event. One source of inspiration was Damien Chazelle’s recent movie First Man, starring Ryan Gosling. But instead of focusing on the moon landing itself, Angelo turned to the people experiencing it while watching this happen in front of their living room’s TVs. The collection is very much about the feel of the end of the 60’s and beginning of the 70’s. The choice of colours and fabrics embodies this: warm hues including spice orange, burgundy and olive brown are balanced with camel, navy and black. That era was also one of protest, empowerment and challenging ideologies which led to a more open-minded society. People wanted to break barriers in every way, especially style, and explore new territories with the moon being the most unreachable and fascinating one. The brand is also taking an important step forward this season by introducing womenswear for the first time under Van Mol’s creative direction. The collection comprises approximately 8 key looks that are distinctly influenced by the era’s aesthetic: pony skin and heritage check wools come together to give l i fe to blazer and mini skirt co-ords. Corduroy suits and placement print chiffon dresses sit alongside denim (classic blue and brown) as well as cotton shir ting (plain, stripes and printed). Angelo Van Mol felt like it was the right time to expand the label’s offering: “I am very excited to extend our universe of humour and inclusivity to women”.

Bobby Abley AW19 runway show British designer Bobby Abley created Pokemon-inspired gear, including shirts, tracksuits, boiler suits adorned with characters such as Squirtle, Charmander, and the elusive Mewtwo Pokemon.

Saul nash AW19 collection presentation by dancers Emerging designer Saul Nash presented his first collection over the weekend at London Fashion Week Men’s, fusing design and dance to quietly reinvent sportswear. His fusion of dance and design come courtesy of his education: prior to his years at the RCA, he studied performance at Central Saint Martins. “My main interest is a liberation of movement,” begins Nash. “The man in motion is a true reflection of who he really is... I’m interested in the metamorphosis from static to motion, and my clothes reflect that.”
• 30
This collection, Static Motion: A Converversation Part 2, looks to “quietly reinvent sportswear” in an eight piece capsule. “It is a continuation of where I’ve come from, but it’s more refined,” he says. “It began as an investigation into identity, and understanding what my man wears. I was looking into how I could create a silhouette that could change to accommodate movement. As a dancer, they’re the kind of clothes my friends and I like to wear, so the collection manifested from that.”
Mowalola AW19 runway show Mowalola, by Nigerian-born and London-based Mowalola Ogunlesi, showcases menswear as you rarely see it: sexy and unhindered by stereotypes on her London Fashion Week debut. With the collection titled ‘Exposure’, she explores what it means to be totally free when baring all, a concept largely unexplored in contemporary fashion. The images speak for themselves.

Rahemur Rahman A/W 19
British-Bangladeshi designer Rahemur Rahman, let us explore his roots with his collection. With his personal and powerful presentation, he aimes to “reinterpret and re-tell stories of South Asian identity”. Taking inspiration from old family photos, his father’s love for traditional British tailoring and his mother’s for the clothing of her home country, his collection combined Western and South Asian tropes, reflecting the cultural duality of his own family and their relationship to fashion. Quote : “I want to make clothes for people who dress like me,” he says. “People who want that slight bit of adventurousness, who want more colour and more pattern, but for the clothes to be cut really well. As location to stage his presentation, the designer chose the Bangladeshi community that he teaches at every week, right opposite the Trumn Brewery where mosy of London Fashion Week Men’s was hosted. The designer cast solely South Asian models in the show, ensuring it was as representative as possible. He wanted to make sure there was someone who was Sikh, Muslim, and Hindu; someone who was Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi. Because I think a lot of the time when people say South Asian, we all get lumped together. But we’re all so different.”

HARUNOBUMURATA AW 19/20 presentation at Palazzo Giureconsulti at Piazza Mercanti,2. The Autumn-Winter 2019/20 collection by HARUNOBUMURATA is focused on the act, posture and sensation you feel when you put a garment on. Deep slits placed on the side of the double face coat naturally lead you to put your hand in the pocket, creating a posture that gives you confidence. Darts sewn outside bring delicate movement like the lingering scent of a woman. The bag stands by itself. Exclusively designed metal accessories highlight the essence of using the bag rather than just designing its surface. HARUNOBU thinks that the ideal garnment is the one that vanishes when it’s put on and leaves only the woman with beautiful posture and confidence lead by a dress. This is what HARUNOBUMURATA offers through the garment. So, the collection looks minimal and quite at first sight, but you will find a lot of deep research and study of the cut and choice of materials in it. From the choice of fabrics to the pattern cutting, Harunobu combined the Italian and Japanese cultures in which he grew up bringing out the inner beauty of a woman.

The brand who’s admired and followed for over 50 years by nobles, emirs, rock stars, entrepreneurs, influencers art lovers chose the even luxurious Palazzo Parigi. ‘The starting point for this collection was an outfit which dates from 1936 - says Lucia Caponi (Creative Director and daughter of Loretta Caponi) - created for Marlene Dietrich for the film The Garden of Allah. It is a vintage black silk velvet robe with sleeves in black dotted white tulle. It is a part of our private collection made by more than one thousand items, that range from 1500 to 1960, where I seasonally find my endless source of inspiration.

Everything is made by artisans in Tuscany, which is a cultural challenge. The new collection delicately balances an oriental influence with the seduction of the 1930’s, as well as an indoor and an outdoor use. Romantic pink roses are printed on black striped silk velvet robes, small red roses cover smocked georgette pajamas with palazzo pants, while white cashmere robes are decorated with a quilted black silk velvet collar.
Reunited elegantly with quotes of exoticism, these Autumn/Winter 19 creations get an Hollywood flair when paired with pink silk georgette nightgowns and with printed silk-velvet taffeta jacquard kimonos. Refined embroideries are then, as always, the core and the signature of the Brand, developed this season on black cashmere where happy and bright butterflies fly over a mysterious hooded robe.
Unisex clothing by Farrah Floyd ‘ I was not consciously focusing on unisex clothing, but after having a store and talking to the customers I realised a lot of men bought my pieces. Since then, when I design I think about making the designs more inclusive and easier for men to use...like the length of the sleeves or weith of the shoulders The designer’s label combines quality materials with emotional design. It aims to create pieces designed to be cherished by the wearer. Every product is made with the hope of evoking a strong emotional connection to the person that buys it, wears it, takes impeccable care of it. And who will hopefully pass it forward as a precious piece to be nurtured. The designer’s aim is to prolong the life of each product by incorporating quality and emotional attachment into each garment.

The focus of Farrah Floyd is systematic zero waste pattern drafting. The idea around this system is that every pattern piece is a rectangle of different dimensions. All fitting comes together in a grid, like fashion across the entire width of fabric, so that no waste is leftover. Farrah Floyds products form a unique, interesting silhouette,‌
