Central Saint Martins graduates Freddy Coomes and Matt Empringham are gaining recognition for their innovative design language that challenges traditional fashion norms. Their collaborative work demonstrates a revolutionary approach that brings unexpected materials and techniques into the context of clothing. "What we are interested in is taking a technique or a material, which has these properties of something wildly different to clothing, and bring it into the context of what clothing is," they explain, a philosophy consistently reflected throughout their creations.
Their work is both visually striking and conceptually intriguing. Creations that resemble "a weird bomber jacket that doesn't make sense but you kind of understand—it looks like velvet, but it also looks like a carpet" produce unique and captivating results through the fusion of unexpected elements and textures. Their unconventional material choices, particularly Alcantara, a fabric similar to Ultrasuede commonly used in car seat making, add layers of complexity and intrigue to their designs while showcasing their commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional fashion.
Coomes and Empringham's work represents a harmonious blend of innovation, creativity, and craftsmanship. By asking fundamental questions about what clothing can be and subverting the original purposes of materials, their avant-garde approach presents new possibilities for contemporary fashion design. As this young duo carries forward Central Saint Martins' experimental spirit, the fashion world watches closely to see how they will continue to reshape the landscape.
