William Abney

William Abney is an independent fashion designer who recently graduated from Central Saint Martins in July 2025 with a BA in Menswear Design. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Abney left behind a corporate career in America and relocated to London in 2021 to pursue fashion. His designs draw from classic menswear silhouettes, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens that emphasises individuality.

Abney’s design work is strategically intertwined with his own writings, as he is pursuing a path as both a novelist and designer. His brand can be described as modest, Americana-inspired menswear with sleek and simplistic undertones, articulated through a dystopian language that exists in a timeframe you can't quite place. The CSM graduate's perplexing world reveals his ability to evoke a wide range of emotions in a matter of moments, with those fleeting feelings captured and translated into garments and words.
