London Collections: Men FW16
From runway to moodboard
January 13th, 2016
While London presents its men's fashion collections for next the Fall/Winter, the world wakes up with the news of David Bowie's death.
The fashion world is shaken and the image that will remain about these days will be the one of model Hayett McCarthy, showing the palms of her hands saying "Bowie" while walking the Burberry's show.
On the runways we’ve actually seen much more: cartoons, Renaissance art, Darth Vader’s clones, vampires, lysergic trips, men with Linus’ blanket, 90s nostalgics and so on.
Curious? Here are some of the inspirations seen in London this week.
