Charlie Constantinou
Something like daily wear from the future, the neoteric ready-to-wear of Charlie Constantinou’s namesake label would feel right at home in a sci-fi landscape. The Central Saint Martins graduate uses extreme weather conditions, adaptability, and function as inspirations for his collections of outré garments that outfit avant-garde silhouettes—organic, structured, bulky, and fitted all at once—in a beguiling pallet of sun-bleached earth tones, royal purples, and teals. The brand’s signature shrunken quilting technique is introduced on gilets and puffer boots that shrink or expand to fit any body, while bungee straps and zip fastenings let nylon taffeta trousers take a myriad of forms. Where cyberpunk meets crafty couture, Charlie Constantinou’s multipurpose wear is engineered for adaptation.
