London provided the inspiration for Oliver Spencer’s SS18 Collection shown at LFWM this month. The range of colour and textures reflected the diversity of our great capital city. I show here a few of my favourite pieces. The trend towards safari and Harrington jackets continues. I love his use of a delicious tobacco/ginger brown (bottom image) which looks so good with a cobalt blue.
Every year I complain about the lack of older models at LFWM and I usually praise Oliver Spencer for his use of older models on the catwalk. While there were a few grey hairs, the models didn't this time quite reflect, in terms of age, the diverse nature of the city used as inspiration for the collection as the clothes would look good on men of any age.
