His distinctive technique involves applying colour to flat, finished garments; initially with paint and chalk, more recently with a printer.

The process:

I was lucky enough to see the ss15 collection in person at london collections men and i think it's very special indeed

i took some pics. you can't really tell but the way the printing process works means that creases are pressed into the fabrics, which are mostly artificial and so hold the crease very crisply. the ink doesn't permeate beneath the folds of the creases, as well as under collars, pocket flaps etc. It's a charming detail and emphasises the construction of the garment; he takes a 2-d fabric, constructs it into a 3-d garment, and then flattens it again.

He just released a collaboration with showstudio: an underwear selfie set and iphone case. I feel like commentary on selfie culture is a bit passe already but it's quite cool. I need a phone case but this one is a bit tacky please advise.

Feel like a bit tacky is the way forward

Those creased garms look amazingly fun. Love the stitching too, reminds me of the stitches i had.

that phone case is market stall fodder.

Rest of the stuff is cool

tigran was supposed to send me some of his stickers from the ss2014 campaign but he never did :/
