Welcome To My Blog..

Hello, My name is Jake Platt, I am currently in my degree year working towards a B.A. textiles & Surface design.

I create samples for menswear fashion, with a strong influence from sport/street/casualwear, my designs are aimed at the leisure/street wear market and my aim is to make them edgy, slick and original.

My main influences include; the city, modernism, casuals, music, the 1960's, stripes, culture and urban streetwear.

The companies that I admire are Fred Perry, Lyle & Scott, Lacoste, Merc London and Ben Sherman, they all share similar styles, and their market place is where I would love my designs to be.

Throughout this blog you will be able to view my design work for live fashion briefs, you will an insight into my influences and interests (fashion, music and culture) and see my design process and completed samples.

Enjoy...
