LFW Day 6 (Menswear): Carolyn Massey

Its another early morning start for us with Carolyn Massey showing at 9.30am. Although it is also a gentle awakening, with this soft military look. The colour palette consisted of light greys and beige's with peaches and faint pinks, the silhouette was boxy with some really strong shapes but at the same time the knitted pieces felt relaxed and fluid.

We particularly liked this boxy top (above) with the back slightly longer than the front.


This all in one, baby grow style suit (above) was knitted with a grey shimmery yarn, actually it was knitted in 2 shades of grey yarn so that the bottom half was slightly darker that the top. When we first saw it, it looked as if it was two separate pieces.




A lot of the collection was build up with lots of soft layers. The fingerless gloves were styled on top of the jacket cuffs, giving it a more street edge, like we saw earlier at the b Store presentation. The sleeveless jackets had raw edges around the arm holes.



Apologies about the lack of legs and feet from these photos, we were sitting on the third row back so could not get a decent full body shot. A lot of the trousers were cropped and underneath some of the models were wearing large holed fish nets in a peachy light pink colour with military style boots, and they looked amazing! Subtle but equally daring.
