The Craig Green Fall/Winter 2014 collection highlights oversized shapes and kaleidoscopic textile prints. Inspired by uniformed silhouettes, the [Central Saint Martins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woojun-jang-fw26) graduate plays with proportion in his latest menswear lookbook.

The designer's pieces are a fresh take on utilitarian workwear that is re-created with a range of floor-length coats, layered tops, wide-legged trousers and masculine skirts. While his silhouettes evoke simplicity, Green's textiles do the opposite. The fabrics were all hand-painted and washed to resemble intricate tapestries and Persian rugs.

Displaying a side-by-side composition of front and back garment views, Craig Green's Fall/Winter 2014 offering is both vanguard and unexpected. The London-based emerging talent first made his runway debut at the [London Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Este-Lauder-Companies-Announced) with Topman and [Fashion East’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snake-game) MAN initiative last year.
