Garish and slick: Christopher Shannon
London, February 25th 2009, Christopher Shannon

After his debut in September 2008 in Fashion East and Topman’s Man Showcase, here’s the latest Christopher Shannon runaway collection for Fall 2009, casted and styled by John Colver in London Fashion Week!
Originally from Liverpool, Chistopher graduated at Central Saint Martin’s with an MA in menswear, but his strong background includes important collaborations, such as going on worldwide tours with Kylie Minogue and co-designing with the legendary London stylist and accessories designer Judy Blame.
Shannon says: “Someone described me recently as a sportswear tailor – but I genuinely am not interested in tailoring. It’s an approach to sportswear. My aesthetic comes from taking things that I like that are garish and making them slick. I like giving pieces a high quality finish. It’s not about referencing an era, it’s about working with a garment and seeing it from a design point of view.”
