The Joseph Turvey debut collection is featured in the MA_12 [London College of Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Este-Lauder-Companies-Announced) exhibition. Displaying a high level of quality and craftsmanship, this expressive and avant-garde collection is a contemporary take on classic sportswear styles.

From knits that vary in texture to face-printed shirting, this bold collection has an undeniable graphic quality that is fashion-forward and fearless with its use of rich color. Graduating with a MA in Fashion Design Technology, designer Joseph Turvey's effortlessly cool styles take center stage, revealing the rising star's immense talent.

This collection explores the idea of illusion, featuring hand-illustrated portraits of mens’ faces, digitally printed, onto textiles. With a bold concept in mind, the designer aims to challenge traditional menswear by taking [classic cuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026) and executing them in an innovative and unexpected way.
