Standing Ground's Michael Stewart spent nearly 5 years trying to show people his craftsmanship talents before being given the stage to do so.

Known for his savoir-faire, his couture adjacent techniques in his work have propelled him to become one of the most exciting and special talents in the industry, however, this did not happen in peace. After spending almost 5 years gathering interest, the Irish-born designer made his debut under Lulu Kennedy's London-based talent incubator Fashion East and since then Stewart has built a world, full of sculptural perfectionism in everything he shows. 

Coming onto Fashion Forensics, he talks at length about his fascination with the celestial, outer-worldly folklore that informs us of our past and the interaction between Earth and the Cosmos, and how all of those elements have brought him to create a design world that feels unique.
