MATTY BOVAN SS2024 "XV"

MATTY BOVAN “XV” SPRING/SUMMER 2024 "Inspired by American party dresses, rooted in the 1980s, but totally reimagined, chopped up and rebirthed, almost engulfing the wearers in a cacophony of monstrous beauty, these characters stand tall and defiant in the world of my making, reading Stephen King and watching David Lynch. This is a fantasy lucid dream of America; scratch the surface and there is something darker underneath. Each look becomes a sculpture, having been worked and worked upon, the elements of craft pushed to beyond my usual extreme.” Matty Bovan, 16 September 2023, St Martin-in-the-Fields, London Director Carlos Jiménez Music Composition Hasani Styling Matty Bovan Editing Carlos Jiménez Camera Michael Fostik Phoebe Grewal Carlos Jiménez Creative Consultant Katie Grand Casting Anita Bitton and Kesia Magner @ Establishment NY Show Producer Mandi Lennard Set Design and Creative Production MY BEAUTIFUL CITY Movement Direction Simon Donnellon @ New School Represents Make Up Miranda Joyce @ Streeters using Lisa Eldridge Hair Claire Grech @ Streeters Nails Emily Rose Lansley @ The Wall Group Footwear GINA Gloves Lauren Perrin for Matty Bovan Studio Bags Matty Bovan Studio Hosiery Tazmin Porter for Matty Bovan Studio Leggings Matty Bovan Studio Underwear Calvin Klein Matty Bovan Studio Team Leo Prothmann, Myles Mansfield, Scar Kennedy Show Assistance Jodie Bull, Marius Virag, Maxim O’Sullivan, Momoyo Wada, Mood Aikhemeiri, Wade, Morgan Sinclair, Pe
