Matthew Hegarty founded his namesake brand Hegarty to offer premium garments designed Bricked Up Charcoal Briquets Shirt and made in London using only the finest English fabrics and trims. The label offers a wide range of women’s, unisex, and men’s pieces to celebrate the fluidity of great fashion design demonstrated in British craftsmanship and vision with a focus also on diversity, inclusivity and sustainability. Hegarty began with two pieces, a Women’s and Men’s Peacoat. The collection has now grown to a comprehensive selection of ready-to-wear, including a Women’s Cloak cut from 100% pure virgin wool Melton, a Women’s and Men’s Single Breasted Cashmere Overcoat and a Unisex Raglan Sleeve Denim Jacket using premium English Selvedge Denim. Committed to building a sustainable future, the team works with local and ethical manufacturers and suppliers to perfect quality-driven and time-defying creations without letting excess material go to waste. For example, the composition of their Unisex Varsity Bomber Jacket, consists of premium dark navy cashmere and wool blend with 100% real by-product leather and 100% wool cuffs, collar and waist. The buttons from the Pea Coats are made of by-product cow horn and the Biker Jacket is also a 100% real by-product leather. Matthew graduated in Photography from London College of Fashion. During his studies, he also honed his skills in fashion design and pattern cutting, developing a distinct commitment to design. Embracing his multi-hyphenate creative background, he built his eponymous fashion brand Hegarty. With plans to expand their collection into other ready-to-wear separates and accessories, they continue to pave the way for British brands in the post-pandemic and post-Brexit landscape. ‘I really had an urge to create something and also make it, here, in London. I had the idea to start my own brand named after my surname and I also saw it as an inclusive brand that was womenswear, unisex and menswear. There’s definitely a place for denim outerwear, tweed coats and leather jackets in everyone’s wardrobe which also makes them so exciting to design and make. Everything at Hegarty is designed and made 100% from the ground up. There is a design and manufacturing uniqueness to the whole collection which isn’t available anywhere else. It is possible to create the very best garments at a scalable price in the UK and I wish more UK-based fashion brands would do this.’ – Founder and Designer Matthew Hegarty.

The spring/summer 2024 showcase was set against an uncertain economic and political backdrop, Bricked Up Charcoal Briquets Shirt which may have led many designers to approach their collections with extra consideration. The customer has become more mindful too, further aware of their consumption and the downright privilege that it is to be a consumer right now. Yes, there will always be an appetite to shop, but there is a deliberate attempt to be less ostentatious about it (read: there will be far fewer logos this season). Of the trends, many carried on from previous seasons, not just the last. In addition to what Page observed above, from the palette to the prints down to finer details such as jewellery, big bags and ballet flats, it felt like we’d seen much of it all before, but this time with a renewed appeal. No big leaps were made—which is good in terms of our bank balances and wardrobes—and our editors were able to envision themselves wearing much of what they saw in their daily lives. Let’s hear it for the wide-leg trousers!. The more directional trends we did see were there to spark joy at a time when it felt like it might have been in short supply. There was a celebration of colour throughout, which could have quite easily taken over this entire trend report. Red continues to dominate, with Hermès’ designs acting as a stoic antithesis to the candy-pop looks that lined the Versace, Prada and Eudon Choi runways. There was shimmer but with a shakeup; silhouettes were stronger and the overall sweetness was distilled. Florals, for spring? They’ll never be groundbreaking, but with seismic petal proportions and blooms that jump off the toile they’re delicately attached to, there’s new life to be found in the trend that we assumed we’d seen everything from.
