LOVERBOY began in the London club scene as a form of self-expression that Charles Jeffrey ended up elevating to the catwalk, introducing a new escapist universe in which the ‘club kids’ disguised themselves as the eccentricity of the queer community of the capital. We do a throwback at the beginning of the night where it all started, following until the last chapter of SS20 of one of the high-end brands that has shaken from politics to fashion through post-punk philosophy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Loverboy<\/p>\n

Charles Jeffrey<\/strong> has become an icon of the 21st century thanks to his imaginary of transgression<\/strong> and creation of a parallel world that he began weaving when he was 18 and moved to London to study fashion design at Central Saint Martins. At the same time he was already working for Dior<\/strong>‘s haute couture workshops in Paris.<\/p>\n

During his final years of career, Jeffrey teamed up with several artists, musicians and photographers to launch the ‘Loverboy’<\/strong> club at Dalston’s Vogue Fabrics<\/strong>. The party became the night of worship in which to be liberated in every possible way through fashion and music. That’s precisely the idea that inspired the artist to create the LOVERBOY brand, known for its ‘club kid couture’<\/strong> and its ‘bringing the club back to the catwalk’.<\/p>\n

The night’s club in all its essence and substance became a creative outlet for Jeffrey<\/strong>. ‘Everyone contributed and created work during the nights, be it in the construction of sets, image capture, performance, and so the collaborative way in which we work in the firm was born. The nights became primary research for my design work. We were inspired by the way people dressed in the club, and that fed everything else’.<\/p>\n

Thus, the designer altered the club’s codes and injected them into fashion in his debut at London Fashion Week<\/strong> for FW16<\/strong>, in which personalities like Kito Mu\u00f1oz<\/strong> or Filip Custic<\/strong> were already beginning to stand out. On the catwalk, an imaginary of psychedelic boots, striped jackets, plaid, tartan skirt suits and infinite socks bathed in a radical genderless aesthetic<\/strong> in which club kids experimented with fashion through dresses, eccentric make-ups and deconstructed pieces.<\/p>\n
