Go big or go home. Kicking off London Collections: Men on a slouchy, oversize note, Topman Design rolled out a collection that was part peacock, part lounge lizard, part grunge guru and part Eighties club kid.
Strange and often unbecoming bedfellows, these: especially when you consider the searing spice shades, gleaming velvets, bold Chinoiserie prints and flashy metallics.
Pick apart these showy pileups and there were some plausible items: long, enveloping coats in nubby fabrics; cropped aviator jackets with retro shearling collars; all manner of floppy, pajamalike pants, and enough faded, shredded and boxy denim for a Salt-N-Pepa reunion.
