As soon as I started to work with it, it seemed to me that there was a world of things that I could do with it, I still think it’s very exciting and there’s loads more to be explored…
The first collection was typical of what the brand has become, elegant and distinctive, and today the designer takes inspiration from traditional fashion elements and patterns to continue this ethos. The designer also honed his skills working as a costume designer at London’s cabaret nightclub The Box.
Collections over the years have included those such as “Filthy Wilde” and most recently “Liberty”
