Keanan Duffty
About
Keanan Duffty is an award winning British fashion designer and musician based in New York City. Duffty studied fashion design at Central St. Martin's in London, and was awarded a first class Bachelor of Arts degree with honors.
Duffty has always believed that music and fashion go hand in hand and he was a founding member of the British Punk band Sordid Details. Formed in 1978, when Keanan was 14 years old, Sordid Details built a strong reputation in the North of England and were heavily influenced by the Sex Pistols, for whom Duffty would later design stage clothes.
Keanan Duffty established his eponymous fashion label in 1999. Over 70 premium specialty retailers carry the collection including Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Lounge in New York, Maxfield, Theodore, H Lorenzo and Fred Segal in LA, Lane Crawford and Joyce in Hong Kong, Harvey Nichols in London, and Beams and Journal Standard in Japan.
The Look
The collection is inspired by subversive subcultures and mixes high fashion with youth culture, music and British iconography. His men's wear collections are infused with innovative fabrics, rock-and-roll elements and British iconography (the Union Jack is all over his creations).
