Day two at LCM started with the KTZ spring/summer 2015 menswear collection titled ‘Urban Warrior’ and promised to show off street wear with mythological influences.
The whole look was very urban and versatile, with a strong compliment of oranges, blacks and whites inspired by Greek vases and minotaurs, with the end product being very urban focused. Monochrome with hints of orange worked well together in a lot of the looks, as well as a number of orange Greek prints.
Other looks featured a lot of netting on sleeves and chest, as well as it being used as an under layer to use as a base for embroidered orange details. Also showcased were a number of warrior inspired helmet caps – black and gold, that were also accompanied by embellished bandanas and also bold statement accessories such as warrior helmets, roman shields, oversized gold large coin necklaces and boxing gloves.
KTZ’s footwear concentrated on open toed double strap sandals. The sandals had a robust and bulky look to them, that were presented in grey, all-black and white.

DKNY showed their collection for the first time in London yesterday at LCM. The Manhattan based designer has a consistently American vibe in this collection, as expected from an American design house – with dressed up sportswear being a consistent theme. Whether or not the collection translated well across the pond is up for debate. Baseball was key – with an 80’s New York grit coming through in most of the collection. They stuck with a colour scheme of navy, whites, blacks and oranges – most of the collection being styled with old school slip ons – one of the key shoes this season.
