Duncan Brown

 



I adored this merino wool pin stripe suit by Duncan Brown at Glasgow School of Arts Degree Show, it was so soft, so masculine and elegant, beautifully made. 

"This look symbolizes the foundation of my journey, drawing inspiration from the twill structure of denim, a traditional workwear material, reimagined within a knitwear context. The denim reflects my roots and where I’ve come from, while the tailoring represents my aspirations." Duncan Brown

 “Are you dressing for the life you wish you had…or are you dressing for the life that you are living?”— Carol Campbell

 


"Exploring the intersection of identity, image, and the pursuit of personal growth through clothing. Drawing from the narrative within my own wardrobe, I examine how the clothes I wear reflect my story, rooted in a working-class background, grounded in tradition, and shaped by practicality and simplicity. With aspirations to progress beyond the confines of my roots while still honouring them, I integrate minimalist design principles to build a wardrobe for the everyday, one that merges tradition with modernity. Through combining knitwear and tailoring, I express my personal growth, pride in where I come from, and my ambition to progress beyond it" Duncan Brown
