There’s a lot you can say about Hackney-based designer Liam Hodges. “Liam Hodges presents character driven collection that examine masculinity in a contemporary way and result in real clothes that mean want to wear,” says his website. The LFWM website describes his work as “expressive, polysyllabic masculinity, it’s about creating a luxury brand that doesn’t just cater the high borns.” We’re quite fond of simply say he’s one of the most exciting and accessible new voices in modern menswear - see? See how easy that was?
Still, fashion isn’t all about words - the visuals are all important and Hodges has as good an eye as anyone, so we thought we’d take a peek in Hodges’ pocket and see what his favourite pictures on his phone was saying…
