I looked at the title and thought "WTF, SS 2013 already?" then I saw the title ever more clearly and saw "MENS" OMG
So thrilled OMG OMG.
Definitely something to look forward to.

About time! Love that Jonathan Saunders will do a stand alone menswear show! Wish Burberry were doing a big show like they do for womenswear.

After cramming a city’s worth of menswear offerings into a single MAN Day for the last few seasons, London is planning to give its standout men’s offerings a bit more room to breathe. The first men’s-only London fashion collections (technically three days, rather than a few weeks) will take place June 15 to 17, with opening programs including a launch event hosted by Prince Charles. In addition to the young London designers who have been showing on MAN DAY—like J.W. Anderson, James Long, Topman, Lou Dalton, and Christopher Shannon—the new opportunity has lured several U.K. brands back to their home turf, including Pringle of Scotland and Nicole Farhi, who have been showing in Milan, and Dunhill. E. Tautz, Hardy Amies, and Richard James will show ready-to-wear collections on Savile Row, and Richard Nicoll (pictured) will debut a menswear collection. The full schedule is now available at www.londoncollections.co.uk.

Tommy Hilfiger is not going to show in London anymore.

That's a relief, he isn't good enough for London anyways! Go back to preppy city!

Amazing, it will be a grait week, no sleep, no relaxation, just fashion. The British have their way with fashion!

Totally agree that Burberry should do a show..

They'd do great & at the very least it would significantly cut done on the running time of the womenswear collectionsB) which would get greatly appreciated

Don't know about you guys but imo those burberry shows run forever I feel exhausted just watching

^ But doesn't Burberry already do its own menswear show in Milan? It could be due to production that they don't want to pull their show forward. And they have been doing in Milan for quite a while now..

If you went to London Fashion Week once you'd know that is actually not hard to get in. You just go there and sometimes they let you in. Thats how I got to see an Ann Sophie Back show.

London opens the menswear season

The first edition of London Collections: Men will bring together events from traditional British brands and collections by young designers exhibited more and more outside of their country.

Strategically scheduled just before Pitti Uomo and the presentation of the menswear collections in Milan and Paris, London Collections: Men is designed to bring the press and buyers to London for three days – before, menswear was held on just one day in the midst of the womenswear presentations some three months after the other European capitals had presented their offerings.

The highlights of the first edition will be contemporary label YMC (You Must Create) and designer Margaret Howell’s (see photo) debut on the runway, and the first menswear collections from Richard Nicoll and the duo Meadham Kirchoff.

Whilst none of the British heritage brands have changed their plans this year, with the exception of Belstaff who will present a preview of its menswear collection, they have wanted to join the party: Burberry for example will be organising an event to present its watches for men. Tom Ford, Paul Smith and Tommy Hilfiger will also be inviting the press and buyers to private events whilst not presenting their collections.

The winners of this initiative from the British Fashion Council will no doubt be the rising stars of British design. Amongst them this season, five will benefit from the support of Topshop through its NewGen Men financial grant. And let’s not forget MAN, another source of funding also from Topshop, and the organisation London East whose goal is to promote London’s young designers. Much is expected this season from prize-winners and their spring-summer 2013 collections: Californian expatriate Shaun Samson, Danish-born Astrid Andersen, and Dalston’s young scamps, Agi & Sam.
