STREET STYLE : NYC VS LDN

CONTRIBUTER: JONNY FILMS MAN AT LONDON FASHION WEEK

We asked if any of you budding movie makers out there fancied the chance to film the MAN show for Topman.com.  From the great applications we received, we picked  Jonny Brady of redlettucecamera.com to venture into the press pit on our behalf.

MAN, the collaboration between Topman and Fashion East enters its 8th successful season and opened the final day of London Fashion Week on February 25th, 2009 at The Natural History Museum in London - proving that London menswear is still firmly on the fashion map. New to the MAN catwalk was J.W. Anderson who presented his work alongside: Christopher Shannon and James Long voted in unanimously for a second and third time respectively, as well as Topman Design. Check out the show now above.

LATEST TREND - BEHIND THE SCENES...

We have now launched out brand new trend - Spring Break...

"With a nostalgic nod to the 50s, the Spring Break trend from Topman takes influence from childhood holidays. Colours are bold and bright with a preppy feel. Look out for bright plaid shirting, cropped checked trousers and bright coloured shorts. Jersey polos are worn underneath short sleeve knit cardigans and finished off with check holdalls and deck shoes."

Well, now you know the trend inside out, we suggest you check out the fantastic video on the trend page...but before you do, we've got a special treat for you...

We went behind the scenes on the video shoot with Steve from Style Salvage, interviewing the key players in the video production and generally making a nuisance of ourselves on location! See below for the interviews and some pictures from behind the scenes...

TOPMAN DESIGN AND LENS - AVAILABLE NOW!

We have just ripped open our first package of Topman Design and Lens clothing, and boy are we impressed. This years offering of Topman Design takes influence from sport and cycling in particular. Combined with elements of tailoring, and using a palette of predominantly vivid colours, this collection is one of the strongest we’ve seen from Topman Design.
