Agi & Sam catwalk show report | LCM A/W 2015

We questioned during the opening moments of the show, that we might have accidentally bowled into Toys “R” Us. Prepubescent boys entered the catwalk brandishing faces clad with Lego; it took some time to notice what else they were wearing. Block colours and a plastic quality, the relevance of the Lego became patently obvious.

A brand that doesn’t take themselves too seriously is a pleasure to watch. Last year’s A/W collection had a monochrome base, using repetitive patterns and layering to create textural looks. This year we were offered jigsaw blocks of colour and a paint splattered style – the line is fun and creative.

Outfits were assembled with dark polo neck tops, acting as a blank canvas to place the elaborate outerwear. The line itself took an oversized theme, creating impressive silhouettes, sleekly outlining the models. Floral panelled baggy pants were worn together with dress-length knitwear, regenerating the layering style seen in previous years.

The second half of the collection adopted for a somewhat “unfinished” style. Indistinguishable between an unpinned coat and an off-the-shoulder-shirt, it was difficult to understand what the model was actually wearing. Nonetheless, the garment complimented the clarity of the simple statement polo neck.

Quirky and a little idiosyncratic, this line is directed at those who just don’t give a… monkey’s.
