Realigning London Collections: Men to London Fashion Week Mens, bringing the once seem distant sister LC:M & W under one umbrella, re-enforcing London as a main player on the Fashion scene. Furthermore, designers now merging womenswear with menswear together, almost seems like allowing designers an extra slots into show, unlike the normal scheduling for the past many decades.
