KATIE ANN MCGUIGAN Autumn Winter 2019

Katie Ann McGuigan makes her on-schedule London Fashion Week debut for Autumn/ Winter 2019 inspired by the Bosozoku or “Speed Tribe” biker subculture of Japan. The Bosozoku were founded in the 50’s before rising to prominence in the 80’s and 90’s and were associated with customised motorcycles, jumpsuits adorned with slogans, Japenese hachimaki headbands and surgical masks. The trademark combination of military and utility gear combined with heavily modified bikes contributed to their unique place in Japanese contemporary culture.
