Claire Barrow

Claire Barrow is an English artist, renowned for her unique hand painted leather jackets and caricature illustrations. Barrow does not view being an artist and a designer as mutually exclusive, but rather integrates both aspects into her work.  Barrow is currently based in London, using British culture as an inspiration in her art. Barrow is, also, inspired by the idea of consumerism and its effect on art. She, like Burberry, has rejected traditional ideas of the fashion system and announced last year that she would no longer show her designs in accordance with the traditional seasonal model. Barrow wants to focus on creating fashion and art without the motivation of consumerism.
