Robert Cary-Williams
Robert Cary-Williams (1966-) is an avant-garde fashion designer.
BA Fashion 1994
MA Fashion 1998
Cary-Williams set up his own-name label in 1998. He won the British Fashion Council's New Generation Award in 1999.
A bold experimenter, Cary-Williams is known for playing with the tensions and limits of fabric, most notably in his 'Shotgun' T-shirt series. His work has all the delicate beauty of vintage couture, but with military and temporal influences drawn from his agricultural roots and early working life in the army.
Examples of his work feature in the permanent collections of London's Victoria & Albert Museum and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
