Dressed to dance

The synergy between dance and fashion has oft been explored by designers, but Saul Nash’s contemporary vision has given rise to a new form of streetwear. As a graduate of BA Performance Design at Central Saint Martins and the MA Menswear course at the Royal College of Art, it’s no surprise that Nash managed to combine both disciplines with newfound results.
“Sportswear subversion” read the designer’s show notes, as running shorts were left open at the thigh and one-sleeved track tops were decorated with mesh panelling. Making use of technical fabrics such as nylon, looks in sand, mint and pale grey felt functional yet fluid.
