MR PORTER Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Langmead says, “It's great that menswear is finally being given the attention it deserves with London Collections: Men. You just have to look at the wealth of design talent we have in the UK, and the ever higher standard of dressing we witness on our cities' streets, to realise it really is time that a menswear fashion week existed in this country. MR PORTER has been celebrating this fact ever since it launched and so we're thrilled to be part of the movement.”

JIMMY CHOO Creative Directors Sandra Choi & Simon Holloway say, “Having recently launched the Jimmy Choo Men’s collection, we were thrilled to be able to mark the inaugural London Collections: Men, together with Esquire and Mr Porter. It’s important to recognise the vibrant creativity and design based here in London.
