Patrick McDowell presents their SS25 collection inspired by the Queer British artist, Glyn Philpot. Illustrating the brand's commitment to multi-disciplinary creativity, the collection bridges fashion, art and culture. Patrick McDowell’s appreciation for history saw them dive into the artists archives to explore the letters written by Glyn Philpot to close friends and family, helping to establish the life behind the artist's work. McDowell sought out Glyn Philpot’s remaining relatives to gain a personal insight into the life of the eminent artist and bring a sense of authenticity to the collection. After discovering the two contrasting lives Glyn experienced, one of society and status and one of queer identity and true expression, it became clear that the collection should celebrate and fuse both. This season’s collection aims to highlight the reality of many queer people living a dual existence.
