Mark fast is fast (sorry) becoming one of the London fashion packs newest darling!
He hit headlines during London Fashion week for stepping up against the skinny nation and booking 3 plus sized models to sashay down the catwalk in his figure hugging, no holds barred creations. The fashion world went into uproar and his creative stylist quit just days before his collection was to be seen on the catwalk. But that hasn’t stopped this Central Saint Martins Graduate from becoming the next big thing!
Mark’s style of clothing is gothic elegance and he describes collection for Spring/Summer 2009 as “Pseudo-metallic knitted body armour”. With young singers like Cassie and Nicola Roberts championing his designs…we are sure to see this up and coming designer dressing even bigger stars in the near future. Rumour has it that he has been in talks to design a line for Topshop…following in the footsteps of designers like Ashish, Preen, Barbara Hulanicki and more recently Christopher Kane…so you better start saving!
To me he is the new Herve Leger…his dresses shape the body like a second skin…the designs are equally sexy but they have this edge and softness that keep it young and hip! He has brought knitting to a whole new dimension…no longer shall it be associated with little old grannies and their knitting needles. Goodbye wooly hats and twin-sets…knitwear is now officially sexy!
