It sparked of a memory of an image I had saved before….so after searching my computer for about an hour I found the image below..a more textural version skull inspired jumper. I’m not too [...]

The Alexander McQueen Fall 2009-10 show is almost last in my menswear series (there’s one more menswear knitter I’m going to squeeze in). I love McQueen’s womenswear collections anyway and I found the mens equally as superb. This season it was a bit of a Dickens Novel/19th Century inspired look, the models were sent down [...]

I’ve never really looked at the menswear catwalks or been interested in it to be honest. The one menswear project we had at University I passionately hated. I guess it’s because it’s all in the small details and I’m very much one for designing obvious and exaggerated pieces. Plus if I didn’t manage to bag [...]
