Green’s designs were first shown on-schedule through Topman and Fashion East’s MAN show for London Collections: Men autumn/winter -13. Two further showings through the initiative continued to explore a unique marriage between boundary-pushing showmanship and functional utility. Spring/summer -15 saw Green’s first solo show at London Collections: Men. Achieving widespread critical acclaim, the collection cemented the brand’s core themes of uniform and utility through a cult-like notion of community. This concept is echoed most clearly in the recurring presence of Green’s signature worker jacket, which is subtly adapted for each of his collections. Craig Green is stocked by some of the world’s most prestigious retailers including Dover Street Market, 10 Corso Como, Selfridges, Barney’s, Joyce and Galeries Lafayette. Green has been nominated twice for the LVMH Fashion Prize.
