The CMMN SWDN AW15 collection was filled with bold color, a grand switch from their previous spring collection, which was entirely made up of white and grey garments. For fall, we see CMMN branch out to using a vibrant orange as well as a blue in addition to blacks and browns. Color-blocking and mixing prints (plaid and window pane) was also prevalent within the collection.

The idea for the collection was to bring “Armani to Manchester”, meaning bringing some high fashion and mixing it with the daily working sub-culture of middle class Britain. We see the heavy “uniform” influence, as well as the high-style of long coats and tailored sportswear.

This season, we see a great deal more of “design” from CMMN. In fact, many a man would be thrilled to wear a CMMN outfit, as it could really appeal to an Italian “Rico Suave” or just the average Joe.
