SEMI-FINALISTS OF THE 2015 LVM PRIZE

AGI & SAMby Agi Mdumulla & Sam Cotton

When two young fashion graduates – one specialising in menswear, the other in textiles – joined forces in 2010, their brand spearheaded a new wave of London designers adding colour and prints to the male wardrobe. Since then, the joyful and irreverent work of Agape Mdumulla and Sam Cotton has welcomed humour back into a business that had become altogether too serious according to them, and has garnered numerous industry accolades and supporters along the way. The duo’s skilful and subversive combination of sharp tailoring and easy sportswear remains the perfect reflection of London’s inclusive and multicultural spirit.
