Nexum was the menswear story to be told by Jonathan Christopher on Sunday evening. Though the backdrop (with dark shadows of trees and birds) made us suspect something different, it was about positivity and staying positive no matter what boundaries life brings us. There were birds above the catwalk too. They seemed to have attacked the male models, who walked around covered in scratches. That didn’t make them cover up their bodies though. In fact their muscled corps were almost constantly at display, in super low V-necks, perforated leather, underneath summer knits and mesh tops and covered by ultra tight suit jackets. Surprisingly (since we’re talking SS2015) leather played the biggest part in the show. Lots of leather trousers, leather sleeves, collars and accessories likes bags and harnesses. The models wore them with the right attitude though, careless & cool, their hair covering half of their faces.
