Nicholas Alistair Walsh, one half of the duo behind the London-based Alistair James label, grew up in the market town of Sowerby Bridge. "For me, it's always been a romantic idea: the Yorkshire moors, its peaks and valleys, the old textile mills that dot the countryside," said Walsh. And Edward Crutchley, who designs for his own label and is director of fabrics and graphics at Christian Dior, grew up in Clapham, near Settle, which was historically part of the old West Riding of Yorkshire.He said of his garments: "It's not a literal description of Yorkshire, but it's that feeling of being in the countryside, being on a fell or in a wood, and how that space makes you feel, and translating that into contemporary luxury fashion.
John Sanderson, who grew up in Kelbrook, near Skipton, met Matthew Cunnington, when they studied fashion at the University of Central England."We feel privileged to call this outstanding countryside our back garden," said Sanderson.
