Eilish Macintosh
Designer: Eilish Macintosh

  • “You can already imagine Alexa Chung in one of her elegant and quirky-without-being-silly dresses.” [The Daily Telegraph]
  • “Eilish Macintosh took a step towards fashion greatness tonight as she was awarded the L’Oreal Bursary Award at the Central Saint Martins MA show by one of the prestigious fashion college’s most famous alumni: Christopher Kane.” [ELLEuk.com]
  • “Remember her name. Even though the rope work over plain long black dresses that kick-started the evening’s proceedings, at times tangling by the models’ feet or asphyxiating one’s face like an S&M mask, probably had a point to make about female sexuality and bondage … it was her use of rope as the stitching holding together the patent leather jackets and baggy trousers that followed that showed real talent.” [SHOWstudio]
  • “Macintosh impressed with two collections this evening–first a simple selection of black dresses enlaced and encased with cords of rope around the body. It was a simple but effective idea. The rope was then replaced with frame decorations on strategically placed parts of the body–the bust and the derriere for controlled peek-a-boo moments.” [Vogue.com UK]
  • “There was a macramé-meets-bondage look to these, especially with provocative portholes located over and under bosoms, and in the center of buttocks. [WWD]
