STEFAN COOKE

Central Saint Martins MA graduates Stefan Cooke and Jake Burt bring traditional British codes to the forefront of forward-thinking design, drawing on established wardrobe staples to create luxury menswear. Based in London and named after its co-founder, the label pairs fine craftsmanship with subversive invention, elevating familiar garments into something remarkable. At first glance the clothes read as seasonal classics; up close, argyles and checks rendered in stretch fabrics reveal a trompe-l’oeil effect — across cardigans, roll-necks, cotton trousers and tailored coats. Cooke cut his teeth alongside Walter van Beirendonck, Craig Green and John Galliano, winning the L’Oréal Professionnel Creative Award in 2017 and the H&M Design Award in 2018. He leads fabric and concept, while Burt sculpts the elegant silhouettes and construction at the heart of the label’s intricate aesthetic.
