Over the coming few weeks we'll take a long admiring look Satyenkumar's AW12 collection, Portrait, but today, we just want to share a few stolen snippets of thought from the seasoned design talent. Here, we help continue the dialogue around men's fashion and style on a Thursday evening by stoking the embers of discussion with a quick sit down with Satyen.

"You don't need to scream to be heard" is good advice. It would be wise for many London menswear designers to take heed of it.
Duck: Completely agree but I'm afraid that in some quarters that feeling just isn't shared. In most cases designers are told to strain their throats somewhat.
nice work keep it up
I read that quote and thought "Give that woman a medal"...then realized the relative redundancy of that thought. But yes, everyone these days seems to be screaming from the rafters for attention, so I immediately take interest in any designer actually paying attention to the details and putting something thoughtful out.
Wooo satyen! Big fan of your work
