W hile many of my favourite menswear designers are trying their hand at womenswear for the first time ( Damir Doma , Tim Hamilton etc.), it’s good to see established womenswear designers have caught on, too. Former apprentice of fetish-clubwear-loving enfant terrible Gareth Pugh and loved by Roisin Murphy and Diane Pernet amongst others, Gemma Slack has extended the reach of her dark, sometimes eery and affecting, other times graphic and arresting, to include menswear.

This filmic collaboration between NY-based artist Collier Schorr and menswear designer Tim Hamilton features the more athletic pieces by Hamilton and a rather large rope which ostensibly hangs from a ceiling.
