Drew Kent

I'm Drew, a queer working class knit designer from the North studying Fashion with Knitwear at Central Saint Martins. I would describe my style of fashion design as being eccentric, camp and kitsch with an abundance of glamour shimmering throughout. I focus a lot on shape when designing, taking influence from club kid culture combined with my own style to create bold silhouettes. I am heavily inspired by queer culture, my personal life experiences, and love to make a statement but not take things too seriously in the process. I often try to turn negative experiences in my life and find the beauty in creating a positive outcome. Throughout my work I am experimental, using unusual materials and always finding new/interesting ways to crochet and knit and you’ll usually find me creating beautiful garments from things lying around the house, rubbish and sustainably sourced materials. I love mixing opposites together when designing which ends up with often a fun/ more out-there concept and allows me to view my work in different perspectives. My garments have been published in magazines such as, Hunger, Pap, Sicky and Glamcult.
