"I FIND HUMAN BEINGS INCREDIBLY INTERESTING; WE CONSTANTLY WANT SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING ELSE! THAT NOTION OF THOUGHT REPRESENTS EVERYTHING THAT’S BOTH WRONG AND RIGHT WITH THE WORLD. THE CONSTANT NEED FOR SOMETHING NEW DESTROYS EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BEFORE IT, BUT ALSO CREATES EVERYTHING THAT
WILL COME AFTER IT.”
Matthew Miller is an exciting young designer from Stoke On Trent. With his Royal College of Art background, and his passion for structured tailoring and engineered digital prints, Matthew has come on board with Kangol to create 3 limited edition items, with
subtle hints of his forward thinking designs.
Matthew’s inspiration for the collection includes motions of youth, identity and movement.

unisex is ideal for both of my personas.”
