Designer: Louise Gray

Louise Gray began designing her eponymous collection in 2008, after graduating with her MA from Central Saint Martins. Scottish by birth, Gray seems to have perfectly embodied British punk culture in her designs, and then some. Her clothes also sport many hand crafted features, like silk screened prints, embroidery and theatrical construction. It’s almost as if Gray collaborated with an elementary school art class on her most recent collection, which is visually and texturally stimulating. 

Famed for her surrealist and embellished pop aesthetic, Gray has quickly established a cult following. This pure chiffon trapeze maxi dress is a true original, with wide parallel black and white bands and fierce yellow flour back.
