Lotta Skeletrix

詳細 2015年6月3日 23:26更新: Things just happen to Lotta Skeletrix. Like the time the 22-year-old menswear designer was approached by Comme Des Garcons' Rei Kawakubo while shopping in Dover Street Market in London. After seeing her stop-traffic look, Kawakubo decided to stock Skeletrix's designs. Now, her punk-influenced label is sold in store, alongside the likes of Alexander McQueen and Lanvin. Then there's the time she staged her first ever fashion show - during Paris Fashion Week. Untrained as a designer, let alone as a show producer, Skeletrix describes it as 'hilarious! It was so last minute and so stressful.' But despite inexperience and a shoestring budget, the show scored orders from both Tokyo and London.
This glamorous world is a long way from her upbringing in Vladivostok. 'It's the last stop on the Trans-Siberian Express,' she says proudly.

Moving to London aged 17, she became a face on the club scene, known for her increasingly outlandish homemade outfits. She still makes her clothes by hand, with her collections based on youth tribes. 'I've always loved subcultures,' Skeletrix explains, grinning. 'And that comes out in the clothes.'
