STEFAN COOKE
London-based designer Stefan Cooke founded his brand with partner Jake Burt upon graduating from Central Saint Martins MA in March 2017. Whilst studying Cooke gained experience with Craig Green, Walter Van Beirendonck and assisted John Galliano in the lead up to his appointment as creative director of Maison Margiela. Cooke’s MA collection, which earned him the L’Oréal Professionnel Creative Award, explores sensory subversion by taking quintessentially ordinary clothes as a starting point, then photographing, digitally manipulating and transposing onto synthetic materials using digital and sublimation printing techniques. Stefan Cooke’s first collection will be stocked in Dover Street Market (London), Dover Street Market Ginza (Tokyo), Han Style (Seoul), Joyce (Hong Kong). Opening Ceremony (LA & New York). SS19 is Stefan Cooke’s second season with the support of MAN. / www.stefancooke.co.uk @stefan_cooke

ART SCHOOL
ART SCHOOL is focused on redefining the limitations of gendered ready-to-wear fashion.

The label is informed by the founders and their friends’ non-binary gender identities and aims to celebrate the idiosyncratic individuality of queer style.
