James Millar

Browsing through James Millar's past collections is a trip to the fashion fairground. Colours swirl and melt into body-conscious dresses or vibrate on androgynous knits. Disorienting black and white hooded prints on a hood jacket recall MC Escher. After graduating with an MA from Central Saint Martins in 2006, the 26-year-old Scot trained as a textile designer. Colour is crucial to him: "The colourway on each piece is always different, so each piece is unique and individual," he says. He has also been involved in advertisements for high street store Crystal Ball, a print for designer Nicola de Main, and numerous customised pieces for shoots for Dazed & Confused and AnotherMan. He is stocked in Side by Side in Tokyo.
