EDWARD CRUTCHLEY
Edward Crutchley’s collection was inspired by “contemporary mythology” featuring prints by French artist Lucien Murat of a post-apocalyptic world of deformed creatures. The collection also had a strong Japanese theme, including a partnership with a kimono printing company from Kyoto. Christopher Raeburn, a specialist in environmentally conscious fashion, used Nasa images showing melting ice caps to create a modern and socially engaged collection entitled “React Now”.
Liam Hodges took his inspiration from the natural world with designs carrying vegetable and leopard-skin motifs. Perhaps his most striking work was a black T-shirt bearing the image of a Roman breastplate worn by a model in a Praetorian Guard helmet.
