Chinese designer Xander Zhou’s ‘pregnant’ man among highlights at London Men’s Fashion Week
Spring/summer 2019 show – focused on streetwear – also includes collections inspired by Nasa images of melting ice caps and contemporary mythology
An imagined male pregnancy, flower necklaces and melting ice caps were some of the more striking images at the spring/summer 2019 London Men’s Fashion Week, which ended on Monday.
Here are some of the highlights from the catwalks:
Future man?
Chinese designer Xander Zhou’s collection featured a male model with a fake bump on show, wearing jeans and a white T-shirt with the words “New World Baby”.
“We’re prepared to welcome a future of male pregnancy,” the designer said in an Instagram post.
Zhou’s show also featured one of the more improbable-looking designs of all the collections – an elaborate raincoat with six sleeves arranged in a star formation.
