LCM:​ Emerging Designers & Street Wear AW14

Christopher Kane has given us a very clean cut lookbook thats minimal with slim bottoms and heavy jackets.

Prints this time around seemed to have a scientific inspiration with molecular like constructions and circular shapes reminiscent of cells running as a motif in the designs. Trousers were straight and slightly cropped for the most part whilst a wet look could be seen in blue and black hip length jackets. Suits were smart and simple with turtle necked sweaters underneath whilst some sported subtle prints such as a dark blue mandala like pattern.

What we loved most was the oversized belted puffa that made a formal fit more street and casual. We also loved the molecule emblem sweater and the full red blood cell tracksuit.

Laurenceairline:
Made in the Ivory Coast, this collection shows warmth in every capacity, despite being a Winter showcase.  With some more subtle pieces, it can be styled to the taste of the wearer, but my recommendation is to go all out vibrant with this one!

Favourite: Full print suit (as pictured) Palmer Harding:
Styling: Shirts are a strong focal point within the collection, set off by the cow hide and suede biker jacket
Colour palette: Monochrome, teal and lime
Key item in the collection: Lime biker jacket.  Wear it casual with Dr Martens.
Berthold:

 With the use of fuchsia fused into black and white, this is a bold collection with lots of stand out pieces.

Must have: White shirt with pink elbow details.  Do you dare to wear it with: Skinny white jeans?  If not, play it safe with charcoal or black.

Alex Mullins:

 Style to watch for AW14: The cropped jacket.  Wear it with: crisp white shirt (as pictured), and skinny jeans.  Chunky boots to finish the look.

House of Nines:
Styling: Strong suiting, with an urban twist.  Practical, yet edgy designs, which ooze sophistication, class and swag all at the same time.Colour palette:  Monochrome

PAUSE loves: The staple white shirt

Jae Wan Park:
Love or Loathe? The jumpsuit suit.

Spotted on day one of LCM, this all in one suit is just one piece in the very slick collection by Jae Wan Park.  The rest of the collection is very wearable, with some great tailored options.  The matching overcoats have some serious detailing, the favourite being those with a leather insert panel trim.

The big question that PAUSE is asking is: Would you wear an all in one suit?

Dodd:
Subtle, yet with key attention to detail, Dodd is an emerging streetwear designer.  Mixing fabrics, with a colour palette of monochrome fused with lilac, it would be a refreshing addition to the winter wardrobe.

PAUSE loves the sunglasses; just in case we do get a bit of sun!

Vinti Andrews:
Styling: Extreme oversized cuts, and copious luxury fabrics

Colour palette: Heavy on the black, with some brights incorporated

Favourite piece: The rabbit shaped rucksack!
