Patrick McDowell — the independent designer known for crafting limited-edition, made-to-order garments — is stepping away from the traditional runway format this Autumn/Winter 2025 season.
Instead of showing at London Fashion Week, McDowell has chosen to partner with mycelium technology company Ecovative. What exactly is mycelium technology, we hear you ask? By harnessing the power of biology, Evocative (which was formed in 2007) transforms industries, ranging from food and fashion to packaging and construction. It does this by growing materials through cutting-edge mycelium (a network of thread-like fungal filaments that extends through soil and other substrates) bio-fabrication processes.
