I always look forward to the Richard James show at London Collections:Men. While there's always something new and different, his menswear is wearable and ideal for a man of any age as it's so rooted in the classic; as you'd expect from Savile Row.
The collection finds inspiration in the Transandine Railway, constructed with British engineering assistance in Chile at the end of the 19th century.
Cutting through sheer mountainsides and dizzying drops, the railway runs through a dramatic landscape, the people and colours of which inspire the hues and styles of the collection.
Granite, earth grey and earth browns are set off with bright sky blues, red, yellow, turquoise, derived from the costumes of the Inca heritage of the area.
As you'd expect, materials are of the highest quality: flannels, Saxonies, prints, denim are among those used so effectively.
For me, the collection demonstrated the wide range of wearable style and fabrics available for men of all ages to wear. For more information, and to see the current collection, visit Richard James.
