David Longshaw

He is outrageously talented and is sparking a colossal fashion buzz, hitting numerous designer "ones-to-watch lists" at the likes of ELLE and the Guardian Newspaper.

Longshaw encapsulates his design structures as "complicated and feminine". His impressive repertoire of skills include story writer, gifted illustrator, fashion design graduate from Central Saint Martin and has a comfy MA at the Royal College of Art under his belt.
