Kube Studios Life Stories
Originally an illustrator for vogue magazine, upcoming
designer David Longshaw has received global recognition for his contemporary
clothing designs. His designs involve hand drawn patters, illustrations and stories being printed on to items such
as dresses and jumpers. The simple designs are being noticed by bosses within
the fashion industry and Elle editor in chief, Lorraine Candy has even
described his designs to ‘have the potential for you to say that’s a David Longshaw dress’. The
designs Longshaw prints are simply an expression of his imagination. Imagine
wearing a story on a jumper! His designs often feature the same characters in
different scenarios but none of his clothing has writing or narrative telling
you what is happening in the scene, which allows you to interpret the item as
you want to.. Making it different for every person.
Because he originally started off as an illustrator,
Longshaw used printing on material as a way to present
His theme throughout his collections is the tale of ‘Maude’
and what she gets up to as a character, each item of clothing represents an
activity or holiday she goes on and throughout the multiple collections, these
change and other characters get introduced.
David Longshaws’ designs and modern approach to fashion have
already gathered a huge following worldwide and in 2011 was name by Vogue as ‘a
designer to watch’. Although his own label was officially launched in 2010, it
will come as no surprise to Fashionista’s when he finally breaks in to the
fashion world because it’s going to mark a change in fashion and design, as we
all know it!
