The London-based designer introduces his namesake label, which offers an innovative new take on the idea of “timeless” luxury
has always been inventing. “As a child, I was constantly sketching,” he remembers. “[I imagined a] wheelchair that could go up and down the stairs to help my godmother who had leg surgery, or clothes that she could easily wear while she was recovering.” Years later, with his eponymous label, Ma is inventing timeless luxury for a generation questioning the familiar tropes that have sustained the leather goods world until now.
As a student in the BFA program in Fashion Design at New York’s Parsons School of Design, the young designer naturally gravitated towards accessories as a way to give structure to his expansive creativity. “The technical part – being able to create shoes you can walk in, bags which are comfortable and functional – was good for me because my brain usually goes everywhere,” he says, with a laugh.
Take, for example, the Carry Bag, a design developed from Ma’s graduate collection at Parsons. Spliced in two – two different colours, two different prisms – and solidified in one body, it is more than just a deft deconstruction of traditional bag structures: it is a translation of the designer’s relationship with his mother, who passed away. “The cut-in-half means we live in different worlds right now,” elaborates Ma.
Ma bucks seasonality, preferring to create timeless and durable designs that respond to his generation’s demand for responsible fashion. Each product is crafted from 3D moulds meticulously developed by the designer himself, and every detail, down to the hardware, is customised.
With his superbly crafted innovative designs, Steven Ma is set to cement his own legacy within the universe of luxury leather goods.
