60 SECONDS WITH KIT NEALE

After a glance at his mood board that screams nostalgia, we grab 60 seconds with Kit Neale to talk typography, teddy-bears and the traveling circus. 2014-09-15 18.58.27

What has inspired you for AW15?

The KIT NEALE Men’s Autumn Winter 2015 collection takes inspiration from a trip to a traditional circus, with inspiration from the work of Fred G. Johnson, Schiaparelli’s 1938 Circus collection, as well an exploration of typography in posters and the travelling lifestyle of the circus.

Are there any particular artists that have influenced you in particular this season?

We’ve been looking at the work of Barney Bubble and Job Wouters – quite radical English graphic designers.

What has been the soundtrack for this collection?

‘Where’s your car Debbie’ by Slaves. Also Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ‘The Carny’.

How does AW15 compare to your last collection?

AW15 is a good progression from SS15. It’s more graphic and less illustrative. Feels more tonal with lots of textures and as a whole some what tougher.

Give us a sneak preview in three words…

Font, Cows, Teddy-bears
