London Collections: Men, Knitwear Highlights

Inspirational design was on show throughout London Collections: Men, 7th to 9th January 2013, with previews of the trends for Autumn/ Winter 2013. Here are my knitwear highlights.

Topman Design: polo neck and crew neck sweaters and belted jackets were bold in colour, cable or texture. Hand warmers are knitted as part of the sweater to keep the wearer extra warm!

Christopher Shannon's bold combinations of graphic or cable knits were really 'eye-catching'.
