LENS is a collaboration program between Topman with an amazing line up of up-and-coming menswear designers like Dexter Wong, Kasper Harup-Hansen, Carolyn Massey and Mjolk. Thus, this adds a creative angle to the usual array of Topman releases with a number of guest designer capsules. New or established designers who own successful labels are invited to the LENS program and Topman provides the platform to allow these designers to reach a wider group of customers.
This new selection is influenced by abstract design through colour, linear, details, soft clean knits; overall they bring forward quite a minimal approach.
