Christopher Shannon: Mirroring the Eclectic Streets of London

Prior to his studies at Central Saint Martin’s College, Christopher Shannon had worked as an assistant to Richard, spending 2 years on the creative team of Kylie.

On a full scholarship from Professor Louise Wilson and the Dunhill Menswear Award, Christopher graduated in 2008, making his grand debut at London Fashion Week the same year.

Absorbing the eclecticism of London’s streets, Christopher is establishing himself as a design that reworks luxury sportswear, highlighting tight colors and large prints.

Notice the vintage knits and mixed textures in his current collection.

Christopher Shannon has collaborated for a second time with Eastpak.

Eastpak Collaborates with Designer Christopher Shannon

Eastpak came into existence in 1976 when Mark Goldman persuaded his father to create a line of backpacks for other students.

Since then, Eastpak has become an urban brand of robust and functional bags for travel or leisure.

For the second time, Eastpak is collaborating with designer Christopher Shannon in a 2010 autumn/winter collection, which was presented at London Fashion Week.

Christopher elaborated on the collection by stating how they wanted to develop the previous season’s collection without much repetition.

Therefore, several distinctive elements were retained while they experimented with colors, textures, and finishing.

The result—a softer, sporty new range!
