Into AW14: Matthew Miller

Ahead of London Collections: Men, Clash asked six designers seven questions.

Originally from Stoke-on-Trent, Matthew Miller’s education includes a degree from the Royal College of Art and a stint in the MAN gang alongside Martine Rose and Shaun Samson (circa SS12).

His ideas range from the exquisitely minimal of SS14 – diluted colour palette, simple shapes – to suiting dripped in prints taken directly from photographs of his environment (AW12).

What was your highlight of 2013?
A robot restaurant in Tokyo. I N S A N E ! 

And what is your biggest hope for 2014?
To figure out if we’re living in a projection of the universe or just the universe. 

What's your favourite piece from SS14?
Our bonded selvedge edged denim pieces were pretty special. 

And five words that sum up AW14, so far?
Textural, Aggy, Militant Destructive Sports Casual. Six words, I'd apologise but I'm not sorry. 

Finish this sentence: London Collections: Men represents…
London perfectly. Diverse and rich in culture. 

Which musician should wear your clothes and why?
Bobby Gillespie, he's been quite prolific and political over the last 12 months, I enjoy his point of view.   

What song warms up the Matthew Miller studio?
Anything by The Amazing SnakeHeads. 

           

Matthew Miller shows on Monday 6th January.
