Way back in November of last year, I viewed this collect at the TOPMAN Spring/Summer 2013 preview and I homed in on it like a style seeking missile, BOOM ! It stood out like a lighthouse saying come and look at me, I’m great and so true it was, once again, TOPMAN have gone and done it. If you read my review of LC:M in January you’ll know I was delightfully surprised at how luxurious next season’s collection was. But almost as a precursor, the brand have launched a stand alone collection for this season under the name TOPMAN LUX. Lux is all about creating that super luxurious, elegant evening look with an edge through the use of modern shapes, high end fabrics, and a sophisticated feel and finish.
The overall silhouette of the collection is long and elegant in proportion while trims and fine details are luxurious in treatment and feature throughout the collection. Beautiful super 120’s Mohair wools and brilliant blue cobalt colours feature heavily in suiting. Knitwear is seen in navy, and Lux in it’s use of fine lightweight yarn and finishing. This comes in the form of a crew neck jumper and high sheen bold coloured crew neck knitted t-shirts.
Key pieces in the collection include a must have full length stone mac, a black leather bomber and a black leather biker jacket make for a timeless jacket collection and the range is completed with basket weave high top trainers, a basket weave document holder and a backpack in sumptuous black, mmmmmm nice.
