Our new designer spotlight continues with the work of Luke Derrick, the Londoner who references both Savile Row and the modern man on a Lime bike. After all, “we’re all trying to present ourselves as having our shit together a bit more than we actually do.”

Derrick is part of the new guard of designers who understand that clothes don't exist in a vacuum. His work leans into graphic-led design and bold visuals, building a world around the pieces rather than just focusing on the pieces themselves.
