London-based fashion designer Edward Crutchley presents a look at his latest Resort 2024 collection, which continues to highlight androgynous forms while also elevating the looks from a formal and sporty angle. Crutchley retains his design language and uses busy textiles from past decades in order to make his clothing accessible.
This can be seen in items such as the traditional fitted suits being cut down the middle and split into black and white colors to create a unique look. The rest of the collection includes knitted tops that are adorned with illustrative plant emblems or geometric shapes. This is paired together with large trousers and faded decor. Other silhouettes include leather vests and ruffled dresses which notable are not defined by gender.
