Matthew Nation

I started printing tee shirts at 16, bought a sewing machine at 18 and received a degree in product design and development from London College of Fashion at 22. I was brought up in Cambridge, moved to London to learn about fashion, then moved to New York City to learn about Life (and fashion). I worked in High Street buying for a short while and left to open a shop in Birmingham called PROVIDE, which is dedicated to independent creativity. I prefer real ale, I shout loudly at Arsenal matches, and I think everyone should be encouraged to follow their dreams.
