AW 14/15 ‘Pieter’ by Sebastiaan Groenen, BA (Hons) Bespoke Tailoring 2012
Featuring a heady dose of LCF alumni, here are the top pieces, pictures and comments that came out of London Collections: Men.
Sebastiaan Groenen, BA (Hons) Bespoke Tailoring 2012, impressed critics with his off-schedule debut collection Pieter which was shown at Southard Reid Gallery. Fashion journalist, Simon Chilvers, LCF alumnus MA Fashion: Culture and Communication (now MA Fashion Journalism), named Sebastiaan as a new talent which caught his eye. Whilst, Charlie Porter pronounced Pieter as featuring “super accomplished pieces for a debut collection”. Having won the LCF 2012 collection of the year, it seems that Sebastiaan is to go from success to success.
New label Pieter's presentation was one of the highlights of the day: masculine, flirtatious, provocative, original http://t.co/t9qrrNN23z
