Topman Design A/W13 || Boys by Girls

We couldn't resist posting this beautiful portrait of our little superstar Conor Doherty captured by Cecilie Harris! Taken amid all the craziness backstage at Topman Design A/W 13, Conor looks so mysteriously sweet and serene that it is just melts our heart! And there is also a brief interview with the blonde stud too! 

Boys by Girls: Conor, what was it like to walk for the Topman AW13 collection?

It was my first big show, so it was really fun. I was a bit nervous when we were lining up, but once I got out there I was in my zone and really enjoyed it!

What did you think of the Topman Autumn Winter 2013 collection?

The collection was really nice, there were some lovely clothes there. The boots were very fucking nice. It was so warm as well whilst we were queuing up! haha

And lots of white, we like white!

Yes lots of white. It was more cream though, but yeh lots of that this season. And lots of bright oranges and reds. The contrasts in the colours was amazing. The white, red, orange and black.

Are you excited for the rest of today?

Yep, I've got another show as well today so I'm off to that in a bit. So now that I have one show under my belt, I already feel confidence for the next one and really look forward to it.

Have you got any fashion advise for other dudes?

Don't try to copy everyone else, be yourself and wear what you like wearing.

Our new fabulous model Conor Doherty is doing his first official menswear show season since winning Elite Model Look 2012 (Conor already walked for Richard Nicoll SS13 and Topman SS13 back in September during London Fashion Week).
He is defiantly showing us all that he is a star in the making, as he walked for SIX shows so far.

Looking like a true supermodel, designers Richard Nicoll, Christopher Shannon, Topman Design, James Long, and Johnathan Anderson chose him to walk the runway, and Qasimi used him in a presentation.

The London Collections: Menswear shows also saw the rise of two fellow Elite Model Look finalists, Mark Saunders and Daniel Stowe. Mark absolutely nailed it on the catwalk for Lou Dalton and Shaun Samson, while Daniel looked every inch of a male supermodel at Christopher Shannon and indulged in an afternoon of wearing quirky peroxide wigs at Kit Neale for Fashion East presentation!

And of course, we simply couldn't leave out our 2011 Elite Model Look winner Matthew Bell, who definitely dominated all major catwalks this menswear show season! Okay, so he may have had a year and a bit's worth of practice in the modelling field than the 2012 boys, but nevertheless, that still doesn't overshadow the fact that Matthew walked for SIX shows this season: Lee Roach, Hackett London, Christopher Shannon, Xander Zhou, Baartmans and Siegel (presentation) and the mother of all shows - Alexander McQueen! 

This season we also saw the appearance of 2012 EML finalist Grace Anderson, who totally killed it on the runway last London Fashion Week in September, and this time it was no exception! She walked among our boys for Christopher Shannon, and totally stole the entire show! We cannot express how excited we are for her for the upcoming fashion week in February... Watch this space!!!

A humongous well done to all the boys (and the lovely Grace) - everyone did amazingly well and totally exceeded all our expectations! That said - go on, we dare you to say that Elite Model Look doesn't produce supermodels!!!
