Against the backdrop of a kaleidoscopic digital projection, the London College of Fashion MA designers sent their designs down the catwalk. As ever there was a fantastic array of talent on show. Here’s a run down of the menswear.

Greek designer Aristides Vanis produced the most arresting collection, featuring an outsize stuffed donkey as accessory and plenty of 3D embellishments, all inspired by his childhood and in particular the food and animals that were such a big part of his growing up. His background in costume is evident in these fun garments.

Xiaomeng Yang dressed his men in brightly coloured co-ordinated suits in shades of bright blue, canary yellow, fuchsia pink, bright green, searing red and blazing orange, with the corresponding shades splattered across the models’ faces. Despite the energetic choice of colour these were beautiful and wearable garments, featuring intricate draping inspired by folds of skin.
