Graduation year

After graduating first in his class from Ravensbourne University (awarded with Menswear Graduate of 2012 by industry panelists) Jon Mabbott is pursuing an international career in Menswear design. Wishing to relocate to Italy, Mabbott is using his resources to design further lines, incorporating the use of his sponsor Saga Furs (Denmark).
His graduate collection entitled 'Smarty' was the story of a youth accepting his journey into adulthood. The luxurious fabrics were digitally printed and contrasted to the boiled charteause wools and quilted nylons, oversized fox fur bags/hood and layered and draped jerseys.
Mabbott's next foray is to continue his interest into sustainable design; innovatively remastering known practical items into everyday necessities.
