Eschewing a runway presentation, Topman Design showed their SS18 collection in an intimate presentation that showcased a futuristic collection that harked on turn of the 20th century tailoring while still highlighting its forward-facing looks.

A trip down the rabbit hole was what Topman Design's latest collection offered, though the collection predominately featured muted colors and veered within the greyscale. The end, full of neon hued sweatpants and coats, belied a more somber collection that played on proportion and fit, with shrunken jackets, voluminous pants and oversized shirts. There even came some branded tees, which could easily be seen as a nod to more famous logos or sales show that customers are once again eager to advertise what label they're wearing.

Once again, Topman Design kicks off LCM with a retro themed collection. This time, the runway collection for the British fast fashion retailer was heavily influenced by seaside towns along Britain's coast, as well as animal motifs, seemingly heavily influenced by Alessandro Michele's collections for Gucci. There were flamboyant designs like a sea and animal printed poncho, perfect to keep cool once the sun goes down or any of the multitude of appliqueed designs. Throughout the collection, there was also a sense of seasonless fashion, the newest wave hitting fashion (and partly what Burberry opted out of a runway collection this time around). There were colorful and structured puffers, topcoats and a velvet robe thrown in for good measure.

TopMan kicks off LC:M once again with another expansive collection. This coming season the fast fashion retailer brings rugged dystopian fashion to the masses with a collection that relies heavily on oversized coats on needle-thin models, along with pieces that harken some of the best selling pieces from the current winter season including baroque pajamas and graphic patterns and prints. Lush fabrics also made a cameo towards the end that hinted that the TopMan Design sub-brand is targeting the masstige market with better quality, fabrics and fashion-forward designs that the typical buyer at its flagship on Oxford Circus may not be able to afford or be ready to embrace.

TopMan Design's Spring/Summer 2016 collection took us back to school. Specifically, it was back to gym class, or P.E. as the Brits would call it. Short shorts and an emphasis on athleisure ticked all the boxes that will surely be a continuing trend this season, as more and more people embrace the marriage of comfort and chic. Here, there were slinky pajama-inspired outfits, as well as a multitude of hardened leather jackets, with studs, patches and a bit of ribbing. Strung throughout were athletic inspired designs that utilized technical fabrics to offer a bit of the modern world without forgetting the (sometimes) traumatic school years that made stronger.

TopMan Design's creations continue to be rooted in the 70s for FW15. Punk elements like chunky plaid suits felt on trend with what was seen on the runways last season while high pile "fur" coats added a bit of quirky-ness to the collection. Chunky shearling coats, like in the second look, captured the era quire perfectly, while unkempt hair on the models added a nice complement. That being said, the FW15 offerings felt strongest when it stayed within the confines of what the brand does best: slim suits and cool sportswear, like patchworked outwear and two tie-dyed jackets which felt very young, fresh and of the moment.

The 1970s were in full swing at TopMan's SS15 runway show. Bellbottom suits, floral patterned knits and moppy hairdos completed TopMan's determination to make the 70s look interesting and different amongst its competitors at LCM. The brand's efforts fell flat with a collection that looked like they were transported in time rather than reimagined for the 21st century man.

TopMan Design is second only to Burberry when it comes to economies of scales at LCM and they showcased their British heritage with a very English collection that felt quite sinister. A subversive thread ran through the collection that included chic outerwear, in varying silhouettes and proportions, all the more to sell to a wide range of men. Unlike other houses like Alexander McQueen and Saint Laurent, TopMan does compromise when it comes to the clothes they sell. TopMan, after all, is a fast fashion retailer at the end of the day.
