Saul Nash has always wanted clothes he could feel comfortable moving in, prompting him to create his version of sportswear that would be conducive to movement. The London-based designer, who started his label in 2018, was awarded the 2022 International Woolmark Prize for his modern use of Merino wool, bridging a gap between active solutions and more formal requirements.
With a true sense of discovery, Nash’s collection allowed him to realise the benefits of Merino wool in activewear, giving him the freedom to develop materials that have enhanced his designs’ quality without compromising their technical DNA. His modern interpretation of knitwear challenges preconceived ideas surrounding sportswear, focusing on minimising waste and emphasising movement and performance.
Nash talks about heritage, his love of prints, and how trips to the barbershop influenced his craft in a candid chat.
