LC:M announces provisional schedule and new home

The British Fashion Council (BFC) has released the provisional schedule for London Collections Men (LC:M) and the new venues. Its previous home, the Old Sorting Office, is to be converted into offices and residences.

To be staged from Friday 8 January to Monday 11 January the event will run across three main locations, 180 Strand (near to the BFC’s Somerset House HQ and which has just housed the Louis Vuitton Series 3 exhibition), Victoria House in Bloomsbury, and the Topman Show Space at Westminster University, which will house the BFC NEWGEN Men’s shows.

The first show at the BFC Show Space at Victoria House on 8 January will be Nasir Mazhar while the first show at 180 Strand takes place the following morning at 9.30am - Patrick Grant’s E.Tautz show (one of the event’s hot tickets). Another hot ticket is JW Anderson (SS16 pictured above) who will be showing at 10am on Sunday 10 January.

The blockbuster shows, however, are all reserved for the final day, which include Paul Smith, Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane and Tom Ford. 

The first LC:M took place in June 2012 and it is now a staple fixture in the menswear calendar.
