Wales Bonner SWEATPANTS
Designer, Central Saint Martins graduate, and British Fashion Award for emerging menswear designer winner Grace Wales Bonner’s collections breech the artificial boundaries of cultural inspiration in fashion. Wales Bonner’s ready-to-wear offers a predominantly cross-cultural aesthetic, intersecting African and West Indian inspirations with silhouettes that defy conventional Western proportions. Trousers and t-shirts alike show immaculate attention to detail; denim comes in retro-influenced cuts, and tailored jackets appear in sensual velvet or with opulent embroidery. Together, they tell a story of globalization and evolving visions of masculinity.
