Oliver Spencer Spring Summer 13 at The London Collections Men

 The Oliver Spencer ss13 collection was inspired by painter Ben Nicholson and Russian modernism. From my second row standing (well squatting lol) position i could see the details close up and the whole vibe of the collection was relaxed chic. The jackets which were in interesting summery colors were deconstructed and fit loosely. Footwear, such as the new lace-less grain derby shoes, subtly showcases Oliver's attention to detail and design craftsmanship.

Topman Denim Project Featuring Designs by Shaun Samson, Katie Eary, Oliver Spencer, Lou Dalton, Mark McNairy & Topman Design Available TODAY

Shaun Samson

Everything is right about the Shaun Samson denim jacket from the wash to the mesh detail at the back. The Mark McNairy and Topman design versions would've been nicer if their washes were lighter, giving it a sort of used feel. They look too new for my liking. My second favorite is the Lou Dalton piece...extremely gorg. Peep the full collection after the jump.
