London-based menswear designer Domingo Rodriguez graduated from Liverpool John Moore's University in 2008 and won the Menswear Award of the Graduate Fashion Week. He then went on to secure the Harold Tillman Scholarship for his MA at London College of Fashion. He interned for Kim Jones and Carolyn Massey. His current collection runs on the basis of the spine, the scaffolding lines of the human figure that everything else is built upon. Pieces echo the body creating skeletal forms designed through engineered pattern cutting. The design is streamlined to give a soft, sleek and refined finish for a collection that draws on situational elegance, consisting of pieces that have no base in any fixed history, yet are resonant of many. A softly tailored and layered silhouette is a reflection of the fiber content and color. The culmination of these factors creates a sense of nonchalant luxury with soft lustrous fabrics and textures, cashmere, layered sleek jersey and sheers, softly blistered leather and suede in tones of nude, flesh and bone through to neutral hues of dust, ash and mink.
