Rising star Carolyn Massey is making waves on the British menswear scene.
After only a few years in business, Carolyn Massey has made a name for herself with her progressive label. Spotted by Topman, her capsule collections for the shop have been a sell out success.

Get a peek behind the scenes of Carolyn’s Autumn / Winter 09 collection where the theme is inspired by her research in the Museum of London and National Army Museum archives. Carolyn’s look revives forgotten historic details and silhouettes from the sartorial code of ‘a gentleman of the very first house’ (William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.)

Cutting edge fashion fresh from the catwalk of London Fashion Week.

Reflect Forward profiles cutting edge craft inspired by historic collections.
