About me

I'm a menswear designer and fashion researcher who specialises in gender fluid design, my interests lay in androgyny and the role of fashion and music in performance. I'm an eclectic individual so I enjoy delving into multiple specialisms within fashion and academic writing. I'm a researcher so I use this in every aspect of my creative projects, from academic and conceptual writing to fashion concepts and design. The researching is fundamentally a part of who I am as a creative individual. Email: joeley97@hotmail.com Instagram: joeley_sutton
