The British fashion brand S.S. Daley, designed by Steven Stokey-Daley, makes clothes for men and women that celebrate traditional tropes of English heritage while also playfully subverting embedded ideas around queerness and class. And it's struck a chord: Anna Wintour has given him her approval, Sir Ian McKellen has walked in his show, and Harry Styles has worn his clothes. Steven grew up in Liverpool and studied at the University of Westminster, after which he did internships at Tom Ford and Alexander McQueen. He set up S.S. Daley in 2020, and in 2022 it won the prestigious LVMH prize. Ahead of his first solo women's show and the relaunch of his retail website, founder and designer Steven Stokey-Daley speaks to this episode's guest host, the journalist and creative director Simon Chilvers, about being inspired by David Hockney and Kate Bush and how his label fits into today's fashion landscape.
