Richard James Autumn/Winter '15 'Transandine' show at London Collections: Men. House edit. 11th January 2015. At BMW i Park Lane, 70 Park Lane, London W1K 7TT. TRANSANDINE Our AW15 Transandine collection hitches an exhilarating, high-altitude ride by rail through the towering, snow-peaked and sun-stippled mountains of South America with the plucky, ground-breaking band of Brits that was responsible for one of the greatest feats of engineering ever achieved. When at the end of the 19th-century the Chilean government looked to put a railway through the sky-high, impossibly imposing Andes to neighbouring Argentina they turned, as they only could, to the renowned prowess and pioneering spirit of the British. And so, zipping up the sheerest of mountainsides to a height of 13,000 feet, barreling along the brinks of the most dizzyingly precarious of precipices and cutting a snake-like swathe through a score and many more valleys and rock-ribbed gorges, the Transandine railway came to be.
