The Topshop Man 2013 collection is a line-up of grunge-inspired sportswear and casualwear from the perspective of several talented and young student designers.
The 2013 series featured ensembles created by Astrid Anderson, duo Agi & Sam and Craig Green. The mission of this collective project is to create a cohesive series of outfits that still show each designers distinct viewpoint and design aesthetic. The result is a smorgasbord of baggy and slouchy fashions for a contemporary crowd. The pieces flow in unison with volume, casualty and in palette. The entire collection is filled with neutrals, slight pops of color and concepts such as the bizarre masks, metallic lipstick looks and the glimmer of gold.
The Topshop Man 2013 collection is full of potential and attempts to perpetuate the careers of young designers.
