Luke Walker is a freelance menswear designer and creative, with a wealth of experience designing for both global designer brands and cult-favourite independents. He’s also embarked on the process of creating his own brand, L.E.J, which is gaining much plaudits from fashionistas just a few seasons in.L.E.J focuses on the intersection of ‘utility and luxury’ in menswear design, so Aleks quizzes Luke on just what the philosophy that underpins L.E.J is. Luke also talks Aleks through some of his early experiences working at Lanvin and Dunhill, and reflects on why he’d rather feel comfortable than look pristine.As always, if you enjoy the episode, please do leave us a review – it really does help like-minded menswear-heads to discover the podcast.---Show Notes:Luke Walker — Instagram | Website[04:14] Alber Elbaz[04:20] Central Saint Martins[05:57] Dover Street Market[07:43] Lucas Ossendrijver[12:01] John Ray (Dunhill)[19:49] Luke’s Father’s Hand-drawn Plan[38:55] Wales Bonner[39:23] Craig Green---HandCut Radio is produced by Birch, a London based creative agency.
