Bradley Sharpe Tent Dress Lineisy Montero for V Magazine

Bradley Sharpe is an emerging designer from Central Saint Martins (CSM) and former Marc Jacobs' trainee.

The young designer's creations are often described as "unexpected" and "incredibly, creatively exiting".

Bradley has created his latest collection from tent parts collected from festival-goers around London.

The designer turns tent parts into captivating fashion creations.

"Working as a bartender at a sex club, throughout my studies at Saint Martins, helped me become aware of how difficult it is to achieve personal space," said Bradley Sharpe.

"This is how the idea of a collection that's equally extravagant and prevents personal space invaders, was born," he continued.

There is a distinctive aspect to Bradley's iconic dresses: They arrive flat, with the poles packed separately.

The packaging contains a manual which instructs the buyer how to assemble the skirt.

"As all the components arrive flat, it is important that there's a manual. In this way, the buyer interacts with the garment even before they wear it," says Bradley.

"I spend a lot of time adapting pattern blocks to fit the modern woman to influence courtship traditions. For example, on my turquoise tent coat, there are 24 jet buttonholes which took over 30 hours of hand-sewing."

Beyond the dresses' unique stylistic appearance, Bradly follows a 'Slow Fashion' design philosophy.

Through his 'make-it-yourself', the wearer interacts with the dress which creates a closer relationship between the wearer and the dress and could possibly increase product longevity.

"If you build something yourself, there is always that feeling of accomplishment. It is my way of encouraging consumers to introduce longevity in their wardrobes."

As Bradly's dresses are made from upcycled materials, each creation is reducing waste and pollution.
