Beau Homme The founders of BEAU HOMME, George Bunker and Justin Mansfield, met one another in the workrooms of the London College of Fashion. Since their initial meeting, the pair has worked in tandem to investigate garment construction and to establish a distinctive, contemporary menswear aesthetic. The two entered the fashion domain in a circuitous manner. George, a dual American/British citizen, graduated from New York City's School of the Visual Arts with a painting specialization before going on to exhibit in group shows and to work in the art department of several fashion publications, which led to his securing the role of Gallery Director. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Justin pursued his undergraduate studies at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, where he specialized in Graphic Art and Design. He went on to train as a bespoke tailor and later served as the long-term studio/ production manager for a luxury fashion house. BEAU HOMME is a London based brand, which re-imagines conventional menswear standards. Dynamic forms are explored by merging together tailoring, sportswear and print. In the reconstruction of the expected, BEAU HOMME offers a broadened scope of personal Expression. http://www.beau-homme.com/ Source: British Fashion Council Sleeves Magazine
