Evan Clayton fuses art and style

Vancouver Fashion Week star dishes on style-watching spots and vintage finds

EVAN CLAYTON

2Designer Evan Clayton has made

a name for himself by mixing art with fashion. For an idea of what we mean, look no further than the concept for his current autumn-winter 2017 collection, which he dubbed The Devil in Miss Jones after the 1973 erotic film. In his line, he has melded looks from 17th-century costume with inspiration from Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s baroque sculpture The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. The idea plays out in everything from denim frock coats to a luxuriant velvet evening dress to flowy-sleeved white blousebodysuits—styles that toy with contradictions of purity and sensuality.

The results have been so striking, in fact, that he was invited into a four-season partnership with Vancouver Fashion Week, where he’ll show his spring 2018 line this week,
