Friedrich Gray designer Ben Pollitt, talks digital print, film collaborations, girlfriends and whats instore next season. He’s one to watch, correction, don’t take your eyes off him!
Romy: I saw a preview of your AW10 collection, it looked so modern and chic, I see digital print is still a large part of your collection?
Ben: Yes, this season we went for a refined and minimalist approach. We have used Italian fabrics and continued to extend our washing and distressing effects. The (digital) print is a representation of the conversation between Photographer/Director Tim Richardson, who directed the film we did together. They are images of actual rock faces on the site of the film, an old quarry in NSW.
R: Oh I do think your attention to detail and experimental use of fabric is so incredibly clever, I particularly love the leather pants with the zip right up the back of the leg, like wearing a boot really?
B: This season I really focused on the little details and made sure those elements added to the final fit and feel of the garment. I love those pants they have a real bondage feel to them, you can unzip from top or bottom and yeah feel like an extension of your boots.
R: What’s Bec (Howell), your gorgeous other half, wearing from Friedrich Gray this Dec?
B: She is rocking the high waisted denim/leather skirt with leather bra under a sheer men’s tee.
