This season the Christopher Shannon man is mixing it up. Suiting meets sportswear and plastic bags morph into masks.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n What?<\/strong><\/p>\n Christopher Shannon AW15 was familiar whilst futuristic. His typical street wear aesthetic was given a new spin when suiting made its debut, giving the collection a broader appeal. We saw trademark logo knits, slogans proclaiming ‘Save Me’, ‘Broke’ and ‘Thanks for Nothing’, re-invented track suits, chunky jewellery in collaboration with Judy Blame (who also co-styled the show) and supermarket carrier bag concealed faces courtesy of Isamaya Ffrench.<\/p>\n Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n Why the strong words? Riffing off the realities of being a young designer in todays economic climate \u2013 the struggles, trials and tribulations faced within the industry \u2013 these are words of protest.<\/p>\n Who?<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether he’s dressed in a pinstripe shirt patched with strips of colour and a stiff frill cumber band, paired with deconstructed monochrome trousers, or wearing tracksuit bottoms split into strips and re-sealed with poppers \u2013 the Christopher Shannon man is ready for all occasions.<\/p>\n Want?<\/strong><\/p>\n Surely the plastic bag knit jumper inspired by photographer, Nigel Shafran. Although, poppers come close second.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
