As MAN, a collaborative effort between Topman and Fashion East, enters its eighth season at London Fashion Week the showcase of designers is decidedly larger than ever before. Supported by the The British Fashion Council, the growth of the MAN Menswear Showcase is “a testament to the amount of creative menswear designers operating in Britain today,” according Gordon Richardson, Topman Design Director, and a chance for menswear designers to share the women’s wear limelight.

From Wednesday the 25th of February the London Fashion Week schedule will be extended to incorporate even more from London’s freshest menswear designers. Charlie Porter, Deputy Editor of Fantastic Man attests to the “new and raw” talent appearing at MAN, including the likes of James Long, JW Anderson and Christopher Shannon. Following the launch of the MAN Menswear Showcase with the iconic MAN runway show, there will be installations and films over the road at 5 Cromwell Road by SIBLING, Katie Eary, Jaiden rVa James and Martine Rose.

Dazed Digital will be going behind the scenes at the MAN Show and at 5 Cromwell House.
