I think for many people over the years Womenswear has been the attraction to the industry, like it initially was for me. Through my eyes, Menswear now generates a similar amount of popularity - and the Menswear Collections particularly over recent seasons have become noticeably more interesting.

I think upon looking at Menswear Fashions, especially brands London you also see a blurring between Menswear and Womenswear. The silhouette, the print, the pattern, and layering are becoming points of interest and areas for experimentation and it makes Fashion for men that more playful. Even though some males stay miles away from these garments, they allow Menswear to become so varied whilst
allowing the customer the freedom to show his character as well as an interest in Fashion.

Agi & Sam - the Katrantzou Duo of Mesnwear. This Design Duo when I first saw them quickly became one of my favourite brands. To me they're similar to Katrantzou as both have a very effective use of colour and pattern, however lay them on beautifully structured garments. Their layering is very effective, and something I attempt to emulate in my own wardrobe.

I don't think at this moment in time you can do a post about Menswear without mentioning J.W. Anderson. Honestly I think there are a large amount of Men - particularly outside of the M25 who would never dream of wearing some of Anderson's creation, however I also think for a certain type of Male he couldn't do better. For myself, I am one of those that would kill for the entire Collection and I cannot wait to see what he has done this Season.

Richard Nicoll's Collection is another I cannot wait to see. For only a brand new designer with regards to Menswear, as this is only his Fourth collection, he has generated a huge amount of positivity and possibly a new focus for Nicoll and a new direction for his brand. The garments shown in his first and last couple of collections to me seemed to show such an ease to wear, they seemed to have this magic that showed an interest in Fashion and Clothing whilst still being very simple. As well as beautifully graphically clean. I can't wait to see the updates on his latest journey.

Those are my current favourites - although even a mental list is so hard to come up with, there're just too many. Others I'm constantly looking at are Christopher Shannon, Lee Roach, Fashion East Installations, and Xander Zhou.
