Industry news Find out about all the latest from the fashion accessories industry in our regular news roundup CAT Footwear partnered with Treddenick, a genderless fashion house to showcase their SS24 collection at London Fashion Week. Jake Treddenick, Creative Director, said: “Our SS24 collection entitled REX examines expressions of ‘masculinity’, showing a construct, a performance, that could be set behind glass. This season we were drawn to 18th-century court dress and classic 60’s tailoring. “Creating gowns for the genderless, we liberated corsetry and explored how cutting and gathering tulle could be used to create shape and structure. Focusing on how each piece felt on the upper point of the hip working with padding, cut and drape it was about looking at how the historical references could be under- stood in a modern context. The Modernday genderfluid-er is still an admirer of craftsmanship and well-cut pieces. Every material we used was a combination of deadstock and British manufactured fabrics. “It was such a wonderful opportunity to work with brands such as Caterpillar Footwear, DMC and Proportion London who have helped and supported us throughout the season. The collection has become thanks to them.” PININFARINA HYBRID SMARTWATCHES BY GLOBICS APPOINTS TIME & MORE LTD AS UK & IRELAND DISTRIBUTION PARTNERSHIP Pininfarina Hybrid Smartwatches by Globics has announced a partnership with leading independent distributor of luxury watch and jewellery brands, Time & More UK Ltd.
