Jon’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘The youth lacks its master’, explores the declining bond between young and old, while contemplating the importance of mutual understanding between generations. The collection’s visual inspiration comes from the designer’s youth, when he was mentored by his grandfather. Jon fuses flawed leather with deadstock jersey, cutting the leather in between the seams to incorporate the jersey’s elasticity. He upcycles from various waste streams, including a look made from a 15-year-old leather family couch, car leather upcycled into a coat, and deadstock sweat fabric turned into trousers.
