Matty Bovan AW19 at London Fashion Week

Inspired by by folklore and myth


From the Liberty Fabric archives, Matty selected their Tana Lawn pattern, scaling up the tiny graphics to find the wizardry in the colour blend, while turning the collection into an exploration of Englishness.


Video of the show's finale:



The ballgowns of Spring/Summer had mutated into polymorphous shapes, cut against the leg, into the hip, bolstered with tulle and foam padding.

 His significant print this season is the unmistakably English dragon.

 A Liberty Fabric print blouse, in four different colourways, with shoulder frilling and an Edwardian neckline works as a jacket too.

Katie Hillier has fashioned collectable outsized keyrings for the collection, as well as hair scrunchies and bows in Liberty Fabric prints

Gina for COACH x Matty Bovan footwear also features Coach Signature fabric,

 as well as GINA for Matty Bovan footwear in clumpy sludge fake snakeskin, cappuccino-coloured stack lace-ups, and the fabric of a thigh boot looking something like a luxurious diesel slick.

Bold knit prints with one print taken from the impression of a grit-bin found in Manchester.



A local wood-turner has made jewellery from chair spindles and bracelets to be worn as armlets. The craft continues into talismans to be held by the models, shaped by his mother.
