For most men, being edgy with their style consists of doing up their top button or turning their cap backwards.

But on the opening day of the men's four-day fashion event London Collections: Men today, there were enough strange accessories to make a grown man swear off style for life.

The British Fashion Council event hosted several catwalk shows in the capital today and designers sent models down the catwalk in everything from hairnets and bikini tops to gold masks and skirts.

The event is now in its seventh season after first launching in 2012, the show is a laid-back answer to London Fashion Week, with avant garde designers showing their wares.

Designers including Christopher Shannon, Rory Parnell Moone and Liam Hodges all showed their collections today, with their clothes ranging from the beautiful to the downright bizarre.

While some models were given skirts to wear, others sported odd jackets and T-shirts that had large chunks taken out of them.

Make-up artists had also taken an edgy angle, with many of the models in the Christopher Shannon show plastered with shaving foam and others who walked for Liam Hodges covered in body paint.

At the Rory Parnell-Mooney show, men wore hairnets and had revealing geometric cutouts in their tops

Londoner Idris Elba is taking his involvement a step further and will be unveiling his collaboration with Superdry there this week.

With men becoming increasingly interested in fashion, the event is gaining importance every season.

Caroline Rush, CEO of the BFC told The Guardian: 'The global menswear market is now worth $440bn (£298bn) as men are spending more than ever on clothing and footwear.

'London is the global home of menswear with great heritage and cultural relevance, not only with the Savile Row tailors but also home-grown talent and international super-brands.

'This breadth is what makes London unique and inspiring.'
