About
The project, inspired by John Alexander Skelton's CSM Graduation show, blends historical and contemporary narratives through in-depth research. Skelton’s exploration of the cotton trade between India and Britain in the 1920s and the 1936 'Mass Observation' survey influenced the project's concept, focusing on the Victorian era's fashion quirks like men enhancing their calves. Additionally, inspired by the myth of Narcissus, the project relates this idea to modern masculinity, particularly in sports. Skelton’s commitment to sustainability, using repurposed fabrics and eco-friendly practices, reshaped the understanding of ethical fashion, targeting consumers who value slow fashion and British heritage, seeking garments with meaningful stories.
