Lou Dalton's career began in her home county of Shropshire when she left school at 16 to take an apprenticeship in bespoke tailoring and pattern cutting. Eager to create her own menswear collection, Lou Dalton achieved her dream in 2005 and has since steadily developed a reputation for rebellious English sportswear and pieces with an authentic lived-in quality with exceptional craftsmanship.
For autumn/winter ’11, Lou has taken inspiration from “the frustrated and disillusioned Seattle scene, through to the discomforting ruthlessness of the Russian criminal underworld” and is driven by “a feeling of discomfort which drives an individual to look inwardly or to look around for acceptance from others".
