STANLEY BRYAN

Born and raised in Croydon, Stanley Bryan’s final collection fused his Jamaican heritage with futurist design, taking inspiration from the architecture of Vincent Callebaut and Dame Zaha Hadid. Further research included images of Seventies reggae bands Steel Pulse and Aswad, plus his own family photos where he referenced garments worn by his grandparents. ‘I mixed a lot of textiles together to create shapes inspired by these images,’ he explains. ‘I also utilised 3D printing, to print shapes of the African continent which then formed a string vest. I like the idea of using traditional techniques with newer technologies.’ Bryan, second left, has plans to stay in London and work on his own label, with the goal of showing over London Fashion Week in the future. We guess it won’t be long. @by.stanley
