Think cowboys minus the hats, replace their boots with shiny derby shoes, add some flower power and there you have it; the Topman Design SS14 line. Were we surprised? Yes, although Topman always manages to somehow turn the old into current and the unpredictable into fascinating. The collection which was part of the London Collections shows and presentations, showcased an array of western-influenced pieces featuring colourful floral prints. Silk shirts, sleeveless letterman jackets, lightweight jumpers and skinny blazers were matched with oversized formal pants and gold belts, composing a look which at first sight could be described as visually intricate mainly due to the merging of different styles and fashions together, yet managed to remain quite fresh and playful.
