Episode notes

During the hot, sweaty madness that was London in June, I paid a visit to Thomas Harvey's first-floor corner studio, tucked away off the main road in Bethnal Green. 

Thomas is a menswear fashion designer who started attracting attention in 2018, as he was finishing up his end of year collection London College of Fashion. Disheartened by the lack of opportunities for final year students to showcase their work, Thomas and his classmates formed a collective called Burn The Man and held a runway show at the Nicholls & Clarke showrooms in Shoreditch.

One year on, Thomas spoke to me about his menswear brand, MMRMS, how music is essential to his creative process, and why finding the right people to share a studio with is all-important to production.

Check out more of Thomas' work here and here on Instagram.

And to see his work inspired by the Barrington Levy song, Here I Come that Thomas mentions in our conversations, check out a video here.
