THE NEXT BIG THING
Through its Innovators programme, MATCHESFASHION champions the designers of tomorrow by giving them the support they need to make their way in the industry. This year, 14 up-and-coming creatives have been chosen to benefit from the scheme, with each selected for the unique DNA and compelling stories driving their creations. They include Nensi Dojaka, whose work focuses on embracing feminity and the importance of female empowerment; Maximilian Davis, who lists Black history and identity as his inspirations; and S.S Daley, who wants to challenge menswear stereotypes through his planet-conscious pieces. The Innovators’ AW21 collections are available to view online.
