A rising British fashion designer S.S.DALEY continues to impress as his latest designs for the Spring/Summer 2022 season strut down the runway at London Fashion Week. Steven Stokey-Dalet has worked together with the National Youth Theater to tell a story beyond fashion.
The fashion label explores elements of the coming-of-age moments growing up for teens in state and private schools. The heartfelt performance and runway were made up of songs, education narratives, spoken word acts, and more. Stokey-Daley talks about the capsule and the inspiration, "I joined the National Youth Theatre when I left high school in 2014. It was the first time I met like-minded people, my lifeline to a culture that opened up the possibilities of what I could do. It is the biggest honor to now work with current members of the National Youth Theatre, whose input has been at the heart of my first solo catwalk collection."
