Men’s fashion – Craig Green’s gender-toying collection – stylewatch

“Craig Green” has become the cliched answer to the question: “What is brilliant in British menswear right now”. Cliched largely because it’s true. His padded judo-inspired tops with cropped trousers and flowing straps have become cult items on the menswear front row – for both male and female fashion fans. As recognition of his female fanbase, Green put women on his catwalk, too. For a designer who regularly shows whimsical structures on his catwalk, this was a seamless, commercially minded move that felt more respectful than cynical. So what do those breast portholes with the scarf flowing through mean? “The breasts? We were looking at symbols of power,” explains Green. Boudicca would have loved it.
