Luke 1977 Designer Clothing Information and Stockists
Official website: Luke1977.com Country of Origin: London, England Founder: Luke Established: 2001 Hackett History:
Luke was the son of a talented wedding
dress maker and throughout his childhood was constantly exposed
to cutting, sewing, altering & pattern drafting at his Walsall
home. With all of this going on around him it’s no surprise that
by the age of twelve he was already adept at using a sewing
machine and he soon became interested in the whole process of
the production of garments and began to develop his skills
Throughout his school years he continued to experiment with the
design and construction of garments and by the age of 15 he had
started making shirts for his friends. Within a few months he
had developed his burgeoning ability to incorporate trousers
too. On leaving school Luke enrolled in a fashion and textles
course at his local Walsall College. It was around this time
that he and his friends were beginning to go out to the local
pubs and house-clubs which created an increasing demand from
others for his shirts & trousers. Garments that were stylish and
individual but still perceived as being ‘masculine’. In 1997
Luke earned a place at Central Saint Martins College of Fashion
in London where he began a 3-year specialist menswear design
degree. He soon became well known for his edgy, detailed but
ultimately practical designs, pieces which often incorporated
his trade mark quirky sense of humour. During the 3 year period
he attended Saint Martins he became fascinated by traditional
tailoring techniques which inspired him to begin making suits.
Now there was a real following for his creations from a variety
of people from friends and colleagues to well known celebrities.
Upon his graduation Luke took the position of junior designer
with a major brand in order to hone his skills and develop a
deeper understanding of the industry, setting down the ground
work for starting his own label. He had set himself a target of
3 years work experience but in May 2001, after only six months,
he began the collaboration with his life long friends, Simon &
Deborah Poole which saw the creation of the ‘Luke’ label.
