PAUSE finds out more about Less Clothing and gets some branding tips.
Tell us a little about starting Less Clothing, when and how did it all begin?
I launched LESS 3 years ago, whilst at university I always had a passion to combine fashion and graphic design I used to make graphics and print them onto t-shirts. Whilst I was a designer in London the urge to start LESS became really natural and it just happened after some research.
Take us through your design process for each collection, where do you get your inspiration from?
I get most my ideas from referencing of blogs and merging that with my own ideas. Once I have some ideas I print my reference sheets then start to shortlist my products and digital draw my cads digitally, after this I then get my design sheets ready for my factory and go into a sampling process and tweak for final production.

Though for some, the 90s were a time of Cool Britannia and Britpop, in the minds of many the decade remains embodied by Britney Spears in a schoolgirl outfit and the obsession over fads like Pokémon and flannel shirts. For those of us who were teenagers in the 90s, the sense of relief coming out the other side of the millennium countdown did not come from the non-existence of the Millennium Bug, but from the belief that Aqua’s Barbie Girl, oversized GAP t-shirts and Justin Timberlake’s frosted tips were a thing of the past.
Plaids and Pirnts
It is therefore with mixed feelings that we greet the trends of the 90s elbowing their way into Teenies fashion. If you doubt it, take note of the return to the cinema this summer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Dressing your son or younger brother up in one of these items will not just please him now but also allow him to look back on his childhood fashion without the sensation of his stomach being hollowed out; the feeling that most of us experience when looking at snaps from the past.
For the older guys, across the board we are seeing a rejuvenation of gym-inspired outfits and brightly coloured sneakers. The multi-coloured sweater vests, snapback hats and zubaz trousers that Will Smith sported so well in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air are no longer vintage but actually a little ahead of the curve. Utility jackets, slick track pieces and the bright-neon t-shirts that lined teenage wardrobes twenty years ago are similarly making a comeback. Those who have walked this path before may look ahead with dread to colour-block outfits and Bermuda swimming trunks.
To balance out the skater boy aesthetic, the preppy good boy style is also acceptable once more. Stripes and plaids like the Gant men’s collection at peterhahn.co.uk are allowing those who missed the 90s the first time round to get involved. Similarly oxford shirts and chinos can regularly be seen when flicking through highbrow men’s fashion magazines such as GQ and Esquire.
The 90s will always be missed but will forever stay within our wardrobes.
