Toogood: Crafting A New Uniform for Every Professional Fantasy

July 3, 2023 in Fashion & Style by Charlotte Sinclair

The brand name "Toogood" is also the surname of its creators, sisters Erica and Faye Toogood. Today, it's a multidisciplinary studio where furniture, ceramics, and clothing are created. "We wanted to sculpt a new uniform for the professional you imagine yourself to be," says Erica. The influence of work uniforms is indeed evident in the collection: jacket or pants models are named after professions like skipper, bookbinder, packer, baker, fisherman... But despite their utilitarian nature, they are also quite beautiful everyday items with no gender attachment. Looking at them, I wouldn't mind trying on several professions for myself.

As demonstrated by the show's attendee, Maisie Williams, this tech couture looks just as impressive when paired with regular rough boots. Nonetheless, these combat boots would even better complement another part of the house's collection — the one with armors.
