Art School is a unisex, London based label which focuses on redefining the limitations of ready-to-wear gendered fashion and aims to celebrate idiosyncratic individuality of queer style.
The label is founded by fashion and art criticism graduates, Eden Loweth and Tom Barratt. The design duo has worked with prominent emerging designers including LVMH prize winner, Grace Wales Bonner.
Art School is a platform for Loweth and Barratt to express their ideas in art and design using luxury fashion as their communicative tool to explore contemporary queerness. The label is informed by the founders themselves and their friends’ non-binary gender identities.
The brand first debuted at London Fashion Week Men’s A/W 17 with the support of Fashion East. They showcased a performative presentation in collaboration with the Theo Adams Company. The presentation featured a cast of their own friends and loved ones. Art School elevated onto the catwalk for S/S 18 with the support of Fashion East and Topman’s MAN initiative.
