Craig Green is an avant-garde foggy albionist
Craig Green's revolutionary ideas in fashion are conquering the world. He is recognised as one of Britain's leading designers. He has twice been voted Best Menswear Designer at The Fashion Awards and his clothes have appeared in The Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibitions in 2015 and 2018.
Craig Green calls himself a menswear designer, adding that his pieces are "unisex or rather sexless" and have been worn by both Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna. All of his collections are based on ideas of workwear. "Uniforms are not for status but for functionality," the designer explains in an interview with The Guardian. - 'Everyone in my family was a carpenter, plumber, upholsterer. My mum was a nurse. They all wore uniforms that you could work in".
Creating a collection, he says, is more like developing a design object. Looking at some of the fashion designer's pieces, it is hard to believe that they can be worn at all: for example, complex constructions made of wood and fabric or multicoloured suits made of perforated plastic.
Craig Green's clothing design is reminiscent of the work of Russian avant-garde artists N. Goncharova and M. Larionov, who created revolutionary costumes for the Russian Seasons out of cardboard and plywood, not caring at all about the actor's comfort in favour of the perfection of the production's iconography.
