Our MA Fashion Menswear alumnus Christopher Shannon recently showed at London Collections: Men, the three-day biannual event dedicated to British menswear. His show notes reveal that: “Central to the collection is the birth of the tracksuit as casual wear in the 1970s, when many people sewed their own from shop-bought patterns.” Outfits were accessorised with football boot bags, playing on notions of nostalgia in everyday items. Thatcherism, post-punk culture and the melancholy of this era were emphasized in the giant cigarette-pack emblazoned jumpers. Kitsch prints inspired by retro wallpaper were used on oversized puffa jackets and two-piece tracksuits.
