The London Collections: Men’s Spring/Summer 2014 showcase will run from 16th – 18th June 2013. Now in its third season, London Collections: Men promotes the breadth of British menswear, from the heritage brands and international names through to the brightest emerging talent. The BFC will be using two official show spaces, with the Hospital Club forming the central hub for London Collections: Men and the Old Sorting Office providing a space for catwalk shows and presentations.

New to show this season is iconic British brand Burberry, moving their menswear show to London after more than ten years of showing in Milan. This season also marks the first season for New York based brand rag & bone and luxury accessories brand, Jimmy Choo to show menswear collections in London.
