CROLLA Scott (Designer)

Using rich colours, opulent brocade and blooming prints, Scott Crolla's early work was a historical fantasy. Crolla trained in art and sculpture, but grew bored of the discipline, moving to fashion because it is, "the honest side of the whole artistic discourse". In 1981 he formed a partnership with fellow artist Georgina Godley. Brocade trousers worn with tail coats dominated a time when fashion became costume and men rediscovered the vain pleasure of peacockery _ a historical tendency that puts this outfit into context. Despite its fancy-dress connotations, Crolla's work was instrumental in encouraging men and women to wear ruffled shirts and brocade trousers.
