JOHN ELLIOTT SHINES A HOPEFUL BEACON FOR SS22

Since founding his eponymous label in 2012, John Elliott has held a resolute approach to elevating the contemporary wardrobe. Materials are meticulously chosen, cuts are employed with razor-sharp precision and subtle details remain at the forefront of everything.

For John Elliott’s SS22 collection, those guiding principles remain as present as ever, with the designer utilising them in a way that offers a hopeful outlook on contemporary dressing. The collection is titled “Bright on the Inside” — a name born out of a period of reflection and isolation for the LA-based designer, whereby optimism and hope filled his creative vision.

The theme of hopefulness is something reflected in the garments for SS22 — pieces which Elliott describes as “designed to embrace and propel us all confidently in new ways”. That approach results in a modular system of dressing; foundational garments designed to offer elevated takes on wardrobe staples. Pieces are cut to generous shapes using heavily-detailed materials — like the crumpled shirting or the new burnout terry material or used — and coloured in neutral, earthy hues to give the refined look.
