Nathaniel Lyles - Mesh

"Some of it is old and a lot of sexuality and come to break free from traditions of masculinity and femininity", Knitwear designer said Nathaniel Lyles his graduate collection.

In his workshop compact but spotlessly clean in Tottenham, north London, the 22 year-old Yorkshire offered us a cup of tea and told BoF his training "very normal." Creative talent runs in his family - both parents studied fashion design and textile production, and his cousin is a designer handbag, the models seen with Lyles with square pockets on the slopes.

"I was always drawing and painting. He grew up in a textile factory work, and I began to take my fabrics in my designs," Lyle, who had drawn on the network as an extension of his love for the creation of its own tissue and be told can be "a bit of a perfectionist about things and possessive and a bit."

Lyles cited Dawn Wiener, the lanky star 1995 American coming-of-age comedy Welcome to the Dollhouse, as his muse for his collection, the voltage and downs of puberty affected.

Roni Ilan - Menswear

"I think in menswear you have a lot of rules and I want to break the rules in any way," said Roni Ilan fun. Originally from Israel, Ilan is a rare example of a female designer menswear. Small stature yet quietly confident, she fell to her fashion design after a degree in finance has failed to inspire. Ilan recovered quickly. "Very quickly," she said BoF, snapping his fingers to attract attention. "In a second, I decided that I comes to fashion."

It was an unconventional way to guide his career, but after his instinct Ilan served. The starting point of the collection purpose, a series of monochrome outfits with a minimum of curved aluminum sculpture worn by the late Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi, whose organic forms inspired stone with hollow centers immediately caught the attention of Ilan. "I felt as to what he was doing that I had to use it connected," she recalls.

"The main thing was, they are very connected to each other, a different look from all sides, front, side and rear. It was [with] many subtle decisions. I think you just feel not see," she said.

After modern dandy Thom Browne and experimental uniform enthusiast William Richard Green worked, Ilan is open in terms of what is to be expected, but will take on wearable sculptures always have a soft spot for his own: "I want to be able to to do this and to do this, you need your own label. "
