Claire Barrow - The Retro Spective AW16

Claire Barrow is renowned for her luxury hand-painted leather and unique illustrated aesthetic. Barrow’s design ethos of ‘do-it-yourself’ is both culturally and politically engaging, acting as a visual reflection of the evolution of British subculture. 

Born in Stockton-On-Tees, Claire Barrow moved to London in 2008 to study Fashion at the University of Westminster. She made her London Fashion Week debut with Fashion East for Spring/Summer 2013 and then exhibited on schedule at London Fashion Week every season until Autumn/Winter 16 after receiving NEWGEN sponsorship through the British Fashion Council.

After working between two lives as an artist and a fashion designer, Claire announced that she had decided to pull back from the restraints of seasonal fashion showings and present work as it evolves to free up any creative restraints.

Claire Barrow's art work is represented by M Goldstein Gallery in London.
