DAVID LONGSHAW
'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.
Now concentrating on his own label, he continues to consult for international fashion houses. 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 and 'The Daily'- London Fashion Weeks newspaper) and
uses his illustrations and story writing as a starting point for his collections.
