DAVID LONGSHAW
Winner - BFC/ELLE Talent Launch Pad
"I love David's ability to illustrate and design,
and his lateral thinking on pattern and print. His designs have the potential for you to say, 'That's a David Longshaw
dress'," Lorraine Candy, ELLE Editor-in-Chief.
'With a fashion pedigree like David Longshaw's- glowing reviews for his MA collection from the
Royal College of Art, followed by stints at Alberta Ferretti and Max Mara- you may think you know what to expect from him,
but you might be surprised' Lauren Milligan (Vogue.com)
DAVID LONGSHAW (Central Saint Martins- BA hons),
(Royal College of Art - MA.)
After graduating in 2007 David received a flurry of press as well as nominations for international
awards (ITS6, Trieste - Le Vif Weekend, Belgium - Cove Park, Scotland) and had already secured a position at Alberta
Ferretti before his final graduate collection was even shown.
Although very keen to launch his own label, he felt
it was important to gain more international commercial experience, so went on to work for Max Mara.
He is now concentrating on his own label.
With not only a natural talent for fashion, but also for iIlustration (winner of the Colin
Barnes Drawing Prize 2005), he has contributed to a number of publications (including THE END magazine, 'The Daily'-
London Fashion Weeks newspaper and Fashion156) and uses his illustrations and story writing as a starting point for his
collections.
'Romantic, determined and with a fervid imagination. The young designer David Longshaw is
all these things and more, and his qualities come through in his clothes.' Vogue Italia
Winner of the BFC/ELLE TLP. Last year David was selected
for the ‘Ones To Watch’ catwalk show , Vauxhall Fashion Scout, London Fashion Week (19th February 2010).
For A/W 11/12 he is sponsored by SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS.
