John Alexander Skelton is an artisanal British menswear designer and alumni of the prestigious Fashion Design MA at Central Saint Martins London. His work stems from an extensive interest in the sociopolitical effects on fashion and culture within specific contexts of struggles between class, past and present.

An underlying and paramount facet to John Alexander Skelton’s work is sustainability. He uses repurposed cloth from existing clothing and utilizes recycled fabrics like antique bed sheets and old grain sacks found in markets. Weaving wools from British fleece, knitting yarn from rare breeds of British sheep, and naturally dyed and naturally finished materials are featured in his work as well. He customizes these materials through hand-dying, overwashing, painting, and patching. The result is a garment inspired by his research into the past, traditional craft, heritage, politics, and a step towards an entirely autonomously made collection.
