NEWS| Joseph Turvey in Notion magazine

You may remember VFS's coverage of London's inaugural Men's Collections back in Spring, where we covered former 'One to Watch' and alum, Joseph's Turvey's Spring/ Summer '13 collection.

Fast-forward to now, and fashion and arts mag, Notion have looked back on the showcase for their current issue, picking Turvey as a "standout from a younger wave of designers", making him truly- in our words- 'One to Watch'.

The London College of Fashion MA grad will now take to Lulu Kennedy's Fashion East, where he'll no doubt add to his growing fan-base- and you can check out what he has to say about the forthcoming LC:M installation here.

NEWS| Joe Turvey on Fashion East's Menswear Installation A/W 13/14

It's a delight to hear that former Men's OTW designer Joseph Turvey has been selected to be a part of Fashion East's AW13 menswear installation. Known for their display of the most impressive upcoming talent, Fashion East will bring together the work of London's best menswear designers and put them under one roof in January next year. 

Turvey graduated from the London College of Fashion with a BA in Womenswear Fashion Design before studying an MA in Fashion Design Technology, where he applied his illustrative skills, love of tradition and unconventional texture to menswear. "The Ones to Watch show was such an amazing experience for me," Turvey commented on being selected. "It was the starting point of my career and I am truly grateful to the Vauxhall Fashion Scout's team for their ongoing support."

As always, we tried to get the insider scoop on Joe’s AW13/14 collection and he chatted to us exclusively:

"For AW13 I am collaborating with a very well established brand... and I am super excited to see the finished products. I have moved a lot of my production to Europe and this has opened a lot of doors to new techniques and fabrications. I really can’t wait to be a part of the Fashion East installation... the location is amazing and the other designers are very talented and I’m looking forward to being a part of it."

NEWS| Joseph Turvey knitwear featured in 'Interview' shoot

If you were to look back over the past months' coverage of menswear 'One to Watch', Joseph Turvey, one fact that'd stand out is how recently the London College of Fashion MA grad stepped away from his studies. Classroom to catwalk in weeks, for someone who only finished his degree in February, it's testament to his talent that he's already been picked a favourite by Vogue, featured in the pages of i-D, and now in an editorial online with Interview.

The piece is an editorial "how to" by renowned hair-stylist Charlie le Mindu; lensed by photographer Mari Sarai. See Turvey's MA collection knit, and a tutorial on the latest hair-care, and trends for men online with Interview mag here now.

Also read our review of Joe's Spring/ Summer collection, as showcased with London Collections: Men back in June.

COLLECTIONS| Joseph Turvey SS13

“One-to-Watch” Joseph Turvey is fresh out of uni- having shown his MA just back in February- but four months on, and the LCF grad is already presenting a follow-up collection, premiering his Spring/ Summer '13 at this weekend’s London Collections: Men.

Inspired by “amidst-the-action” Attenborough, Turvey’s SS'13 is heavy on the foliage: jungle vines, and florals from the ankle-up, with magenta-blossom motif suits, and drip-tip-leaf print “dad shirts”- though markedly cooler than your “Dad”'s weekend get-up.

Turvey’s tropic-tree influence is more deep-rooted in his Spring/Summer than the conspicuous prints, though- with the jungle’s silk-greenery reflected in fern-green silk-printed shirts; the face of his-signature illustrated-boy staring back at you from the centre.
It’s also in the interjecting darker lace-knit co-ords that you come to understand there’s more to this young designer than currently understood. Turvey's less reliant on vivid colour than you might initially assume, and conceptually, explores more than is-obvious- with the jungle-green weft-knit two-piece bringing to mind a sense of entrapment; a darker facet to the theme; an insight into how he might grow as a designer.

Ultimately, Joe- in manner of design, and person- is vibrant, and whimsical, and- on the whole- a lot of fun, so “colourful”, and “sat-sitting-in-a-garland befriending chimps” is the predominant image you might leave smiling to yourself with- it’s just not the only one. Especially when you’re reminded that the tech-smart knits, and heat-reacting hibiscus is the work of a new-graduate, just two collections in…

Featured in Dazed and Confused, Drapers, and picked by VOGUE's Jessica Bumpus as a Fashion Week favourite, Vauxhall Fashion Scout's Joe Turvey is proving there's truth to our claim that he's 'One-to-Watch'.

The London College of Fashion graduate has now also been featured in London 'free-zine', aMUSE, as part of their Issue 2 'Fashion Power List.' Sharing the list with designers Maarten van der Horst, Georgia Hardinge, and Henry Holland (seen here in Joe's designs), Turvey's appearance comes with the claim that the menswear designer is an "extremely exciting emerging talent"- a claim we'd say is on good authority, given that is was made by i-D's Fashion Editor, Elgar Johnson.

NEWS| Henry Holland spotted in Joseph Turvey

The last week has been very busy for Vauxhall Fashion Scout's Joseph Turvey. Not only was he interviewed by VFS following his return from Shanghai Fashion Week, but a couple of celebs have been spotted wearing his label. 

First of all, designer/DJ/VFS fan Henry Holland was featured in an editorial spread for XOXO The Mag wearing Mr Turvey's Navy Lace Jacket and Shirt. HH was then spotted - by none other than Vogue Italia -  at Snowdon Blue's launch by Acne Studios wearing another Joseph Turvey number. 

Eponymous singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf, on his world tour, decided to join Henry by donning Joseph Turvey's lace shirt but this time it was teamed with Joseph Turvey's lace shorts. 

Relive the looks on the VFS catwalk with our exclusive video.

NEWS| VFS catches up with Joseph Turvey following Shanghai Fashion Week

AW12 Men's Ones to Watch star Joseph Turvey opened Shanghai Fashion Week on April 17th with his latest collection. The fashion week, sponsored by Loreal and Absolute vodka has become renowned as platform for young Chinese and international designers. 

Once Joseph Turvey returned from Shanghai, VFS caught up with him to chat about SFW...

"Showing during Shanghai fashion week was amazing. Shanghai is a city like no other... The buildings look like they are something from science fiction novel. Presenting the collection to such a massive audience and completely different target market was a nerve racking and extremely rewarding. Shanghai fashion week is growing each season with Dior and PPQ headlining this season. My show gained numerous press attention and I was interviewed by China Fashion TV stations and publications after the show. There is talk of showing in Hong Kong in June...Which would be fun."
