Creighton Kay-Scott made this drawing of a coat and trousers, we don’t know when, but I can imagine him sketching away, refining each line with care and precision. The details are so crisp and clean; it makes you wonder about the fashion of the time, the cut of the cloth, and the people who wore these clothes. There’s a kind of austere beauty to it all, like a blueprint for a life lived in elegance and simplicity. Looking at the fabric, I wonder, what would it feel like to touch? Would it be soft, or a bit rough? And who was this Creighton Kay-Scott anyway? What was he thinking, dreaming, as he drew these shapes? Maybe he saw fashion design not just as making clothes, but as designing the very experience of wearing them. Each artwork is like a conversation across time, artists are always building on what came before, remixing, reimagining.
