MAN Fall/Winter 2018

ART SCHOOL is focused on redefining the limitations of gendered ready-to-wear fashion.

Directed by the creative partnership of Eden Loweth and Tom Barratt, ART SCHOOL is a platform to express their collective ideas both in art and design using luxury fashion as a communicative tool to explore contemporary queerness.

The label is informed by the founders and their friends’ non-binary gender identities and aims to celebrate the idiosyncratic individuality of queer style.

Rottingdean Bazaar is the brainchild of dynamic duo James Theseus Buck and Luke Brooks. Working together since 2015, the label was born upon moving to the seaside village of Rottingdean in East Sussex where their work took shape around a perversely original use of found objects.

London-based designer Stefan Cooke founded his eponymous brand with his partner Jake Burt upon graduating from the Central Saint Martins MA in March 2017.

Cooke’s MA collection, which earned him the L’Oréal Professionnel Creative Award, explores sensory subversion by taking quintessentially ordinary clothes as a starting point, then photographing, digitally manipulating and transposing onto synthetic materials using digital and sublimation printing techniques.

Perfection is the recipe for disaster for a lot of us. You will always fail in the pursuit of perfect... but the journey is fun. - Kevin Ponce

Everyone finds zen in their work in a different way. It's a really important part, having something in your work that feels good despite what else is going on. Once you put yourself into that state of flow, a lot comes out. -Martine Ali

A lot of the time we have narratives of people, what we think they are going to be like, or a certain perception of them. For them to blow away all of those things is incredibly cool. That's my main objective and the whole point of writing, to keep the narrative going, to keep cultural criticism going, to keep history going. - Kerane Marcellus
