Claire Barrow's hand-painted high fashion pieces are as much a statement about British youth culture as they are a fun conversation starter. She's created gowns with cartoony portraits painted upon them and tights printed with apes.
Barrow made her London Fashion Week debut with Fashion East S/S 2013 and more recently showed with NEWGEN, a support project created by TopShop and the British Fashion Council. Dazed reported she decided to abandon traditional fashion cycles this year so she might "focus more intently on her creative work."

Some of Barrow's smaller pieces are available on her site, and her pieces are carried by US retailer H. Lorenzo.
