Contemporary Menswear

The more considered side of my work at I Love Ugly: tailoring-led pants, wool outerwear, knitwear, shirting and elevated jersey. The focus is fabric and finish, from wool melton, bouclé and brushed alpaca to suede, jacquard and lace, with details like engraved buttons, faux horn trims and leather badges. Every piece was designed to be worn season after season, and still planned against the same GP% and sell-through targets as the rest of the range.
