<\/a><\/p>\n Topman Design occupies the unenviable position of having to toe the commercial Arcadia line while positioning itself in one of the most vibrant menswear scenes in the world – which is why its success and willingness to push boundaries is a real delight.<\/p>\n At the Old London Sorting Office, the AW13 Topman Design men came down from the slopes in roll necks, cropped peacoats and down-filled parkas in all shades of winter white, burgundy and navy. (Though our eyes were firmly on the eye-popping section of the show that came in hues of orange, acid yellow and hot pink.) Bronze compasses and hip flasks swinging off oversized rucksacks rounded off the ‘apres-ski<\/em> explorer’ look.<\/p>\n If you want to relive all the alpine madness again, you can head over to the Topman 360\u00b0app<\/a>, which lets gives you a panoramic view of the show from any angle you want. Other than from David Gandy’s lap.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n MORE LONDON COLLECTIONS: MEN COVERAGE Words: Zing Tsjeng We went backstage at yesterday’s Topman Design show and found ourself in a winter wonderland of down-filled anoraks, roll-necks and boys who were ready to climb Everest.
