Describe your customer in 3 words
Confident, shameless and sexy

Describe your collection in 5 words
Random, digital, deconstruct, rebellious and futuristic

Who have you dressed in the public eye? – Who would you like to? – Who needs to be dressed by you?
I would love to see any one walking down the street in one of my designs and owning it. Of course it goes without saying that if Elton John wore one of my jackets life would be pretty much complete.

What is your biggest achievement to date?
Receiving my MA

What is your unique selling point?
Combining artisanal craft with the digital age.

What makes your product stand out from the crowd?
I build an entire world around everything I do it is very in depth, I like creating a story that’s just as important to me as the designs and it reflects how I feel at the time. I think because of this the product stands out as it is part of another world.

What is your number one ambition?
To make a difference in whatever respect that might be.

Who have you learnt more from? – What did you learn?
I consider myself incredibly lucky for the people I have met on my journey so far whether it was in industry for designers I have worked for or more recently Ike and Zowie and the incredible fab team Ike put together on the Menswear MA there. I learnt so much not only about design but what makes me tick as a person.
The best thing Ike encouraged in me was how to build my world and how to convey it to others and pushed me to achieve possibilities I never dreamed of.

Tell us an interesting Fact that no one would know about you?

When I was 19 I took acid for the first and last time. I truly believe it changed my brain and unlocked a part of my imagination that I didn’t have access to before.

What do you do in your spare time for fun?
I love making dubbed mockumentary vids about the end of the world. I story board the entire thing and then go through loads of videos grabbing footage and getting my mates to do the voices. Hours of fun!
That and watching lots of South park and of course your generic social activities pubs, dinners bla bla

What do you love to wear?
Anything and everything as long as none of it works together.

Where do you shop?
I have been living off clothes donations from all my mates for the past couple of years. No finances for that kind of luxury.

What’s the most valuable experience that you can share to others?
It is something I am still wrapping my head around but I think what I am beginning to realise is that everyone has their own individual path that gets them where they need to be. Never beat yourself up if something doesn’t turn out the way you wanted it to. Could lead somewhere even more exciting.
