James Long

James Long is a menswear designer and accessories specialist who graduated from the Royal College of Art (London) in 2007 with an MA in Menswear and Accessories.He debuted his own name collection at London Fashion Week’s MAN show (a TOPMAN and Fashion East initiative) in February 2007, working with AnOther Man / Dazed & Confused menswear editor Bryan McMahon on styling. After what many reported as MAN’s best show to date, Long was reselected to show with MAN for the following two seasons.

He says his inspiration for SS10 was Andy Warhol’s Oxidation paintings. How cool is that? Andy says he used to get the Factory regulars (including Mick Jagger) to piss on the metallic paints to get an oxidizing effect.
