Here’s my Central St.Martin’s Bachelor Collection, photographed by Anders Edström for the first ever issue of PURPLE FASHION Magazine. These photos were taken in the two months following my degree at Central St. Martin’s in London and starting work at Martin Margiela in Paris. I had been offered the job before finishing college ( I’d done several internships at Margiela during my time at CSM) and I had no plans to start my own collection, nevertheless I was really pleased to be part of this project. This is the collection I went back to when I started thinking about founding our own house with David almost 4 years later, and my first collection in 2000 was more or less a re-edition of my St.Martin’s Degree work. I have the most brilliant memories of Central St Martin’s, it was such a fabulous place to be , and London was on FIRE ! It really had such a profound impact on my life, in many ways everything that had happened before had just felt like a preclude. I was incredibly sad to leave London but also hugely excited to be starting work at Martin Margiela. Paris did feel small and narrow after the incredible energy of London and it took me a while to get used to it, falling in love certainly helped 🤗
