The collection portrayed modern London street style as he took he own sportswear aesthetics and and retrained them to match the more modern tailoring, with more grown-up trousers shapes and fitted knitwear. One real stand out feature of Shannon's work, which differed from his original anti-glamour aesthetic was a puffer jacket cinched at the waist with elasticated corsets. Surprisingly not as feminine as it sounds. This sort of modern aesthetic was further seen in the collection when he produced sweatshirts and tops with newly invented peplum's worn over slim, tracksuit bottoms... “The thing is, that’s the top of a boxer short so it is a nod to another street code, another way of dressing, breaking those things a part a little bit, and trying to find a new line for sportswear,” - Cristopher Shannon.
A strong collection, with a clear and stand out theme and opinion. One of LC:M stronger collections.
Following a successful collaboration for Spring/Summer 2015, Christopher Shannon teamed up with CAT Footwear once again for his AW collection. Showcasing at LC:M, Shannon''s second collaboration merges Shannon’s vision with CAT’s renowned old-school technical capabilities. The spring summer collection featured reworked Colorado boots in their original silhouettes. with tan soles and all black leather panels. The collaboration signified the idea of practicality meeting fashion which became on par with the collaborations of timbalands gone by.
Shannon's new ready-to-wear collection was matched a new collaboration that saw three different types of nylon meshes and canvas CAT Colorado boots. After various picture browsing later, i saw that a certain navy blue suede pair had all the makings of a classic collaboration, worth for hypebeasts in the future. By far one of my favourite singular pieces from LC:M.
