Topman S/S 2014 at London Men’s Fashion Week
Topman Design delivered a western-themed spring/summer 2014 collection as part of London Men’s Fashion Week.

Together they create a soft, billowy silhouette. Each shirt is delicately hand embroidered with intricate flowers – but on closer look take a more sinister turn – beauty destroyed with scratch stitching and spiders inspired by 1950′s B movies.
