Emuva eLondon, ake sibone i-Lou Dalton Menswear Fall/Winter 2020
I-ethos kaLou Dalton ilula: izingubo ezenziwe ngobuchule zamadoda ngokugcizelela umklamo oyiqiniso, ohlala njalo. Iqoqo liphefumulelwe umculi u-Tahir Salahov.
Ngemva kokushiya isikole eneminyaka engu-16 ukuze aqeqeshelwe ukuthunga izingubo ezishibhile, u-Lou waqhubeka nokufunda eRoyal College of Art, waphothula ngo-1998. Kusukela ethule ilebula lakhe elingaziwa ngo-2008, umsebenzi wakhe uchazwe ngezandla- ngokunemba kanye nokuthakasela okungokwemvelo kokusikwa nendwangu.
Izingubo zikaLou zingezesimanje kodwa aziphelelwa yisikhathi, zidonsa emasikweni obuciko baseBrithani kanye nokulandisa kwezimpande zakhe zeShropshire ngendlela yokucabanga phambili nesimanje; never nostalgic. Izingubo ziyasebenza futhi zingaphansi kwengqikithi yazo kodwa ngokushesha zibamba iso ngekhwalithi yazo engenakunqotshwa kanye nekhono lokuphakamisa umuntu ozigqokile; isici esihlaba umxhwele esicashile esiyingqayizivele kuyo yonke imiklamo kaLou ayifingqa ngokuthi “umsindo othulile.”
Ngaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi amabili embonini, uLou ungomunye wabaklami abanolwazi kakhulu nabanekhono abasebenza ngemfashini yamadoda namuhla. Uhlu lwakhe olude lwamakhasimende omhlaba nabahlanganyeli luhlanganisa u-Grenson, u-Jaeger, ukusebenzisana okuqhubekayo nochwepheshe bezingubo eziluka u-John Smedley kanye nokusebenzisana okusha ne-Gloverall kwe-AW19.
