British designer Edward Crutchley is best known for his uber-luxurious collections, which often reach across continents for inspiration. Case in point: his Spring/Summer 2021 collection looked to Japanese film director Hideo Gosha’s 1986 film Gokudô No Onna-Tachi, resulting in an assemblage of Ottoman kaftans, prints up-cycled from vintage Japanese kabuki costumes and 1930s silky kimonos. For Autumn/Winter 2021, however, Yorkshire-born Crutchley looked closer to home and his latest collection, Florizel (the original name of ITV soap opera Coronation Street), is a paean to Northern England. “I wanted to highlight that British nerve, that Northern Britishness,” the designer explained to GQ. “In particular I wanted to pay homage to that sort of gritty glamour you only find up north.”
