The Richard James Autumn/Winter 2013 collection showcases a series of suits. What distinguishes this line from the rest that made their debut at this year's London Collections: Men event is its singular focus upon this style of menswear only.
The James brand found multiple ways to distinguish each one of its Autumn/Winter 2013 pieces despite their common roots. Whether it was the incorporation of bright yellow gloves or dark brown travel bags, the ensembles each looked separate from one another.
This particular focus is furthermore practical. James has here catered to his audience who are in part corporate British men in need of everyday apparel. For many, this most often necessitates suit pieces, and he has in response delivered a fierce set.
