DAZED - Three LA designers ditching the rules of fashion
James Flemons is the one man force behind rising brand Phlemuns, which has pumped out understated yet innovative collections for the past three years. Gender fluidity and multi-functionalism define his designs, as does the process of recycling both as a practical system of making clothing and as a concept. Flemons’ lack of formal fashion tuition is also a key influence on the overall output of the brand – “I feel like I haven’t been constrained by the rules, so trial and error has created this kind of creativity that I’ve come across,” he explains.
