"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, St Martins (BA hons), RCA (MA).Winner of the Inaugural BFC/ELLE Talent Launch PadAfter graduating in 2007 David received a flurry of press and nominations for International Awards (ITS6, Trieste, Le Vif Weekend, Belgium, Cove Park, Scotland) and had 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 internationally 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 illustration (winner of the Colin Barnes Drawing Prize 2005) he has contributed to a number of publications and uses his illustrations and story writing as a starting point for his collections. His characters include Selnec &Harriet as well as Penketh& Chloe (who appears on his scarves) and Maude his ‘cult creation’ (British VOGUE p122 September issue).
