Landy originals

A menswear collection focusing on 1940's rationing, the coronavirus pandemic and the cost of living.
The cost of living crisis inspired me to create a textile design based off of the inflation graphs published which I digitally embroidered, in white to represent the subtle changes in society. My colour palette consists of blue, white and orange. Blue and white from the symbol of the NHS logo that would be a constant sign we would see through the pandemic, and the orange was from my research as it would be used a lot through the 1940’s so pilots could locate civilians on the ground and help them.

A Stitch in Time is a timely and thoughtful collection embodying the resilience and resourcefulness that characterised the rationing era that reflects on the past, acknowledges the present, and looks towards the future. It demonstrates that sustainability and style need not be mutually exclusive, and that menswear can be both practical and environmentally conscious. The collection encourages wearers to consider the impact of their fashion choices and to make more sustainable decisions in the future.
