Out market editor Michael Cook selects his favorite looks from the runway.
"The obvious trend in London this season was wide-legged pants, and this look by Rory Parnell-Mooney, seen at the MAN collective show, sums it all up. I love the high waist and baggy fit on these pants. Also, the strange head piece added a bit of dramatic flair."
"Christopher Shannon's collection felt very artsy, in a good way. With nods to Warhol and cubism, in brightly colored fabrics, the show wrapped up the London collections nicely, proposing a fun take on menswear for next winter."
"Coach's first foray into ready-to-wear was incredibly successful. Creating wearable and interesting garments, while focusing on outerwear, the leathergoods brand proved that it can keep up with all the fashion big guns. I love this layered vest and leather jacket look -- this is how I want to dress all winter long."
"Everyone was all abuzz about the Lego face masks at Agi & Sam. Exciting and interesting, they completed the looks and told an interesting story inspired by childhood toys. Bright colors and a big dose of fun made this collection one of my favorites this season."
"The modern Mod look has been present for a while, making its appearance in various collections through the seasons. This Hardy Amies collection felt very modern and contemporary, while still harkening back to the times of the swinging '60s, using color and tone as opposed to actual reinterpretations of the clothing."
"This look might as well have come from the closet of a wealthy housewife of the Upper East Side, which is why I absolutely love it. Always bending the fine line that now exists between men's and women's wear, this look continues to explore the idea that clothing isn't exclusively masculine or feminine, at least for the fashion-forward."
"A dark and moody, but incredibly wearable collection. I particularly loved this look: A pretty basic men's suit with such interesting detail where the floral fabric was placed, giving the whole ensemble a more uniformed vibe. Eat your heart out, Wednesday Adams -- even the flowers seemed depressed."
"One man's tapestry is another man's sweater. The cuts and tailoring are gorgeous, mixed with a cozy sweater that's not afraid to make a statement. I have a feeling those colors will all be in my wardrobe next winter."
"Primary colors and combat boots are not always thought of as going well together, but here they work perfectly in a Clockwork Orange-meets-Tetris kind of way. A bit playful and a totally badass, this look from KTZ was full of contradictions, and I love it."
"Mix-and-match appeared to be the message from Burberry Prorsum's show, and I couldn't agree more. I particularly loved this look, which layered patterns and styles to perfection. I love an animal print and a little floral, so why not put it all together? The look is grounded, with plain black pants and a simple bag, making it possible for anyone to pull off."
"I've long been praising loose-fitting pants, and I'm so glad to see it popping up in more collections this season. Joseph has given us a fashion-forward collection that's simple, chic, and elegant. I love this sporty suit jacket and relaxed trousers -- mixing styles masterfully."
"London's fashion darling Craig Green didn't disappoint this season. I love this bright pop of primary red. It's a color takes you by surprise, and all the movement keeps it fun!"
"Topman's obsession with the '70s doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Psychedelic prints, furry accents, bowling shoes, and shaggy hairdos showed us a grown up version of last season's Topman. A bit more Hustle & Flow. I love this look for its unabashed flower-power vibe and funky groove. Get into it, dude!"
"I'm obsessed with this graphic jacket. It looks like something out of a Fosse dance number. We've learned from all the guys on the red carpet that black tie doesn't have to be boring. This is a perfect example of how to add a bit of sophisticated fun to your outfit."
