London designer Saul Nash, winner of the British Fashion Council Foundation’s Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design and 2022/23 BFC NEWGEN recipient, will be at London Fashion Week presented by Clearpay this June, showcasing his latest collection on the digital schedule, at 13.00 on Sunday 12th June.
Nash's eponymous brand can be watched on the digital schedule, accessible to all on the #LFW platform.
From North East London, Nash received a scholarship to attend and graduate from the eminent MA Menswear at the Royal College of Art in 2018, and arrived at his fashion practice via the unconventional route of performance. Known also as a choreographer, Nash practised for many years as a dancer and graduated from BA Performance Design at Central Saint Martins in 2015.
Saul Nash is described by online lifestyle retail-magazine Hypebeast as "the next superstar of sportswear", and fans admire his ability to bring luxury to activewear, creating fluid menswear that compromises neither function nor style. Inspired by the kinetic body, and the subversion of sportswear via the memories of the different people he grew up in London, Nash’s practice extends to worn garments and their ability to liberate an individual’s identity. He favours relaxed silhouettes and mesh fabrics that enable movement and flow, while asymmetric hems and monochromatic colourways highlight the designer’s focus on expression. Staying loyal to the brand’s roots, all limited-edition styles are produced by local North East London manufacturers.
The Saul Nash collections are carried at retailers including Browns, SSENSE, HTOWN, FLANNELS and Selfridges.
