Okay, so perhaps the inspiration for the Tim Soar Spring/Summer 2010 collection shown at London Fashion Week didn't actually come from the kitchen, but it sure seemed like it. With menswear fashions that included a selection of shimmery silver, black and translucent white separates, I thought instantly of aluminum foil and garbage bags.

Kitchen references notwithstanding, the Tim Soar Spring/Summer 2010 collection featured outfits created with contrast in mind. [Silvery pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein) set of brown tops, while [shiny black blazers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) muted brightly-patterned pants somewhat. Check out my favorite looks from the collection above.
