The talent taking part in the campaign were asked questions about London; what they love most about the city, what separates it from others and how the capital creatively defines them. In the series of images rolling out to launch London Fashion Week Men’s June 2019, Markn captures the energy of the cast through their mix of personalities and styles, showcasing how the melting pot of experiences make London and London Fashion Week Men’s so unique. “This is London” will be promoted at the main hub of LFWM, The Truman Brewery, during London Fashion Week Men’s June 2019 which runs from 8-10th June.
