Pioneering British textile and fashion designer, Sue Clowes, is renowned for her influential role in shaping 1980s pop and street fashion.⁠

It was her collaboration with Boy George and Culture Club in the early 1980s that brought her widespread recognition, with Clowes's designs characterized by vibrant prints and religious iconography, and which became synonymous with the band's eclectic style. ⁠

After moving to Italy in 1987, Clowes, who at first threw herself into wearable technology clothes, eventually retreated from the fashion scene but in 2012 relaunched her brand with her daughter Marta Melani.

Today, after retrospectives which have seen her work shown at the Victoria and Albert museum, and also at the recent Outlaws: Fashion Renegades of 80s London at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, her contribution to fashion and popular culture is finally being acknowledged.⁠
