Craig Green

Craig Green is a London-born designer who explores concepts of uniform and utility seeing fashion as, “escapist,” (Green, 2017) I think that this is clear in the contrast of simplicity and depth of his work. His 2020 collection with Moncler played on ‘transparency and protection,’ the sculptural and conceptual yet functional style of the garments gave a versatile effect whilst twisting the heritage of Moncler’s outerwear in a forward-thinking way. Moreover, his Fall 2020 collection played on a ‘packaged- person’ someone who keeps their past with them via garments, surrounding themselves with ‘an imprint of the past [on them].’ (Green, 2020) Consisting of protective armour, bomb-proof tabards and field hats, the collection delved into the psychology of clothes and their effect on a person. I feel my narrative relates to the ideologies of both these collections using clothing as protection as well as something that retains memory. (Figure 10) (Figure 11)
