Augmented reality may re-conceptualize the functions of consumerism and architecture, and change in the way in which we operate within it.” - Keiichi Matsuda

TOPMAN, the international savants of men’s fashion, has taken a stride out of menswear and right into the nucleus of music with their collaborating act, TOPMAN CTRL.

Then, as a closing act, they choose the bands for the CTRL live concert, held in a different UK city each month. Past controllers have been: Passion Pit, Gallows, Black Lips, The Rumble Strips, Lightspeed Champion, Ladyhawke, and Metronomy…just to name a few.
