About
Ella Stimson is a textile focused designer who combines comprehensive research with contemporary ideas. A refreshing approach on current menswear is highlighted through Stimson's use of vibrant palettes and clashing textures. She challenges traditional ready-to-wear, ultimately encapsulating an effective interpretation of awkwardness within clothing.
Adolescent naivety fluctuates between inherited role models and the formation of personal style. Subtle inspiration is drawn, almost reluctantly, from fathers’ wardrobes, preserving an enduring sense of formality. Tradition is admired, yet reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Existing garments are warped, meticulously reconstructed to challenge the familiarity of traditionalism. The awkwardly posed baseball players depicted on early 1900s collectible cards embody this youthful uncertainty, while the work of Adrian Ghenie captures the near-schizophrenic euphoria of this generational transition.
