In the penultimate film from our Ways of Seeing series, menswear designer Sam Cotton recalls how he got into fashion
As one half of menswear brand Agi & Sam, who, in 2013, won the British Fashion Award for Emerging Menswear Designer, Sam Cotton insists that he should not be taken too seriously. After meeting Agape Mdumulla during an internship at Alexander McQueen, the pair set up their brand in order to create as they liked and to move away from the traditionally regimented fashion world.
Here, in the penultimate film from our Ways of Seeing series, which profiles six influential creatives, Sam, wearing Persol opticals, discusses the freedom that being a fashion designer offers and how most of his collections begin with a joke.
