Studio_805

studio_805 is a progressive menswear label driven by andrew bannister-bailey, a first class ba (hons) fashion design graduate from leeds college of art & design, and named after the address where he lived at for the final two years of his undergraduate studies. having honed his pattern cutting skills whilst on work placement at vivienne westwood, he has since developed a signature style fusing clever cut, considered colour and choice cloth. after relocating to london late 2008, studio_805 launched off-schedule at london fashion week early 2009 as part of fashion scout's first ever 'ones to watch' initiative and so began the label's calculated exercise in sartorial fun. studio_805 currently produces unique high quality garments using discovered or limited run fabrics, as well as repeats of popular signature pieces that are made-to-order. the label is now gearing up to commence saleable seasonal collections, with an increased focus on branding and promotion. www.studio805.co.uk
