i-D Magazine | i-Ntroducing Molly McCutcheon

“My loosely tailored garments and simple basics look right on any type of man. I design for all ages and that’s meant sincerely.”

Finding beauty in discreet places, Molly McCutcheon is the Hackney-based bar maid who designs clean, tailored menswear inspired by awkward boys and ginger hair.

Harbouring a man-sized crush on model James Cooper, Molly is obsessed by the oversized silhouettes and the louche attitudes of holidaying artists, writers and other significant types photographed in the 1930’s. Working from a clearly defined colour palette, hues of turquoise, acid yellow, jade and sky blue featured heavily in her graduate collection.

Molly’s initial thought processes were much more of a blank canvas, including an all white collection. Dressing up pretty boys the way all girls would like their lads to be seen, she is a woman who knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to pass judgement or speak her mind.

Working closely with friend and fellow Westminster graduateLiam Hodges, Molly’s stand-out debut graduate collection brought a refined artisan feel to the experimental realms of amateur fashion.

Opulent she isn’t, sartorial she sure is. i-D Online caught up with the Northern star to find out what’s good and where it’s happening.
