This week was Men’s Fashion Week in London and we could not let it pass us by without a quick Models Direct review! If you kept up with the three day event you’ll know there was plenty to talk about – but which designs inspired you most? View our favourites below.

Here at the agency, fashion writers loved Lee Roach’s minimal, contemporary and slick silhouettes. We rated tailored treasures from Savile Row’s Richard James and reminisced over retro Parkas and Doc Martins on the TopShop catwalk. But when British Fashion Council member David Gandy – renowned as the world’s first male supermodel – shared his dream to make London the ‘menswear capital of the world’, we have to admit that we weren’t quite as prepared as we’d imagined for some of the items that were about to grab global attention.

Day one saw the MAN show offer bizarre head to toe block colour ensembles, featuring head-pieces made from bundles of wooden planks. A mystifying kick off – and things didn’t get any less surreal from there. Vivienne Westwood’s male models sported drawn-on moustaches and monocles – reminiscent of the kind of facial art that you may find yourself adorned with the morning after a heavy weekend session at Brick Lane – and J.W. Anderson showcased frilled knee-high boots, skirts and shorts, alongside snug fitting tunics, for men of course.

But maybe the most talked about (and let’s face it, just plain ‘out there’) offerings were some of the knits. Designers Joe Bates, Sid Bryan and Cozette McCreery sent their Sibling male models down the catwalk this week in some very ‘special’ woollen treats. Dwarfed by super-sized snoods and hats, fluffy trousers and enormous woollen mittens resembling giant comedy lobster claws in various colours, they flew the flag for eccentric British fashion.

In an interesting twist some wore jumpers with the words “Please Kill Me” sewn onto the front in flowers. We can’t help thinking that these words may have reflected the feelings of the wearers. Sibling designers described the brand as “knitwear for men with a very English humour”. We aren’t sure we get it but it certainly brought a smile to our faces!
