The 2013 A/W men's collection season kicked off in London on January 7th. London Collections: Men, which began in conjunction with last summer's Olympics, features Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey and American designer Tom Ford on its steering committee. With support from the royal family and business circles, this marks the second season. While men's fashion has increasingly reflected women's fashion trends in Milan and Paris, London's collections encompassed a wide range of styles, from Savile Row, synonymous with luxury suits, to longtime fashion leader Vivienne Westwood, fast fashion brand Topman, and up-and-coming designer Craig Green, who recently graduated from Central Saint Martins. This collection showcased the depth and variety of British men's fashion, a brand that is both a force in history and a driving force in the future. Alexander McQueen, whose brand roots lie in his training in fashion design on Savile Row, presented his first menswear collection in London. Christopher Kane, a graduate of Central Saint Martins, proposed real clothes with global appeal, using monster motifs like Dracula and Frankenstein. While the collection generally paid homage to traditional British menswear, Irish designer J.W. Anderson stood out. While fellow young designer C. Green describes his designs as "masculine," Anderson referenced feminine elements and details from his own womenswear collections, such as ruffled shorts and skirts and frilly knee-high boots, and adapted them for menswear. The collection was titled "Mathematics of Love." For him, the boundaries between women's and men's wear are blurred, and his design philosophy is that they are "mutually interchangeable."
