In 2001 Thom Browne realized that there was a gap in the market for formal clothing because everyone had become overly casual in how they dressed. Therefore, the designer brand specializes in suits and formal wear, making even their casual clothing quite dressy. However, the most noteworthy thing about Thom Browne is that he loves playing with traditional proportions and creating clothes that are ‘shrunken,’ reconceptualizing the classic men’s suit while also accepting gender fluidity by dressing his male models in skirts, dresses, and heels.As a symbol of British punk and rebellion, Vivienne Westwood remains one of the most iconic top designer brands in modern fashion history. Launching a store in London called SEX, she paved the way for the punk subculture to enter the mainstream. Her pieces include ripped T-shirts, plaid, and sky-high platform heels – which supermodel Naomi Campbell famously wore (and fell) on the runway in 1993. A proud rebel of the industry, her pieces remain political and symbolic statements against conformists and defined an era of defiance against the norm. For those who enjoy two-wheeled motor vehicles, you would be well aware of Belfast and its influence on motorcycle fashion. Founded in 1924 by Eli Belovitch and Harry Grosberg in Staffordshire. As the first company to use wax cotton, it paved the way for waterproof apparel. In the decades since, it has remained true to its heritage, crafting men’s and women’s outerwear and pieces designed for adventures and those on the go. Balmain has established itself as one of the leading designer brands in the fashion industry, known for its rich decorative fabrics and luxe trims. The luxury fashion house has a strong French heritage that is reflected in its innovative designs and attention to detail. From their signature gold medallions to the newly re-designed logo, each piece is adorned with Balmain’s distinctive embellishments, including buttons, symbols, blazon coat of arms, gold ornaments, or tassels. Balmain has also collaborated with other top designer names, such as H&M and Victoria’s Secret, further solidifying its reputation as a powerhouse in the fashion world. The logo for the centre was made up of an eye and arrow symbol, which was designed by Hans Schleger, who became an integral part of London’s early 1930s avant garde design community and helped spread modernism across Britain. Inspired by Schleger’s process, Wallsgrove suggested recycling this classic design, a move that seemed in keeping with the principles behind Design for Planet. Previously, the logo was a neon yellow circle but on reflection the council realised that it requires more energy to render digitally than less saturated colours, and it couldn’t be colour-matched for eco-friendly printing. In addition, the colour also had legibility issues for visually impaired audiences.
