ISK Graduated from Saint Martins and The Royal College of Art
A London based designer pioneering an exciting new wave in bespoke menswear accessories. The work is informed by a love for art history and extensive knowledge of traditional gentlemens cloth accessories, re-imagined through classic bespoke construction and modern cutting methods. Re-working classic accessories such as the bow tie, cummerbund, cravat and neck tie while also working to reintroduce typologies that have been lost to time, such as the band, jabot, coif and chaperon.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is at the forefront of my business. All products are made-to-order, which reduces the risk of wastage from over-stocking. 90% of my cloth is locally (UK) sourced from sustainable and ethical sources. Due to the nature of my products only 2-5% of the cloth is wasted and these scraps are donated to my student textile recycling project.
TEACHING
A well-respected and inspiring teacher, Ian has taught fashion design for the last twenty years and lectures internationally, setting up and delivering courses & Seminars in Paris, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Saudi and China.
