For Autumn Winter 2018, JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN looks at the concept of “psychopath”
“psycho killer”.
The theme takes inspiration from the mood and tones of films such as Twin Peaks
and Taxi Driver, in which a natural born killer has multiple personalities. A psychopath and a wired
character - this incompatibility is reflected throughout the collection especially the jeans with a different colour/fabric on each leg.
The AW18 collection employs a mixture of tailoring and cowboy elements.
Western components
are portrayed through accessories such as belts and new cowboy boots adapted with a vibram
tracking sole.
JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN reinforces these elements through core accessories
such as wired gloves and psychopath shape glasses
alongside the use of materials such as; wool,
velvet, corduroy, leather and patent.
Throughout the
collection the words “dexter” and “sinister” regularly appear, representing left and right, the ominous
and auspicious dual-sided personality, which embody the theme of the psycho killer for AW18.
