‘Minimalist utility nomads’ and dark origins, we steal 60 seconds with Matthew Miller ahead of LC:M AW15.

The AW15 moodboard

Matthew Miller does more than just design clothes. With dystopian manifestos and socio-political undercurrents, his emotionally charged work occupies the jarring space between fashion and politics, simultaneously straddling both worlds. A cult fashion purveyor, Miller is able to convey profound sadness as well as more subtle emotions delivering a shock to the senses with his immersive work.

From his AW14 protest of gender-bend models stomping down the catwalk, to his pin-stripe patched and memorial wreath adorned army on their journey of despair for SS15 – Miller delivers a pulsating assemblage of youth codes from a political perspective. We steal 6o seconds with Miller ahead of LC:M.

What has inspired you for AW15?

I wanted to destroy iconic representations of an idealism that is unobtainable, systematic and irrelevant.

What has been the soundtrack for this collection? 

It’s Been a techno kind of a season with Daniel Avery being the main protagonist.

How does AW15 compare to your last collection?

It’s rich in colour and texture, but is still incredibly dark in tone.

Give us a sneak preview in three words…
