With the new season fully underway and Milan set to kick off in less than 24 hours, here we share our edit of the boys set to launch off SS15.

Several have already been busy across the three mega LC:M days that left us reeling (and more than a touch inspired), Callum Rockall walking for Craig Green and E.Tautz, Ted Le Sueur for Burberry Prorsum and Alexander McQueen and both Clark Alltoft and James Holderness for Kit Neale.
