Luke 1977 Stockists and Designer Clothing Information
|
Official website: Luke1977.com
Country of Origin:
London, England
Founder: Luke
Established:
2001
Hackett History:
Luke was the
son of a talented wedding dress maker and throughout his
childhood was constantly exposed to cutting, sewing,
altering & pattern drafting at his Walsall home. With all of
this going on around him it’s no surprise that by the age of
twelve he was already adept at using a sewing machine and he
soon became interested in the whole process of the
production of garments and began to develop his skills
Throughout his school years he continued to experiment with
the design and construction of garments and by the age of 15
he had started making shirts for his friends. Within a few
months he had developed his burgeoning ability to
incorporate trousers too. On leaving school Luke enrolled in
a fashion and textles course at his local Walsall College.
It was around this time that he and his friends were
beginning to go out to the local pubs and house-clubs which
created an increasing demand from others for his shirts &
trousers. Garments that were stylish and individual but
still perceived as being ‘masculine’. In 1997 Luke earned a
place at Central Saint Martins College of Fashion in London
where he began a 3-year specialist menswear design degree.
He soon became well known for his edgy, detailed but
ultimately practical designs, pieces which often
incorporated his trade mark quirky sense of humour. During
the 3 year period he attended Saint Martins he became
fascinated by traditional tailoring techniques which
inspired him to begin making suits. Now there was a real
following for his creations from a variety of people from
friends and colleagues to well known celebrities. Upon his
graduation Luke took the position of junior designer with a
major brand in order to hone his skills and develop a deeper
understanding of the industry, setting down the ground work
for starting his own label. He had set himself a target of 3
years work experience but in May 2001, after only six
months, he began the collaboration with his life long
friends, Simon & Deborah Poole which saw the creation of the
‘Luke’ label.
