Designer to Watch: Molly Goddard

Life is galloping faster than Molly Goddard ever expected: Having shown her first collection off-schedule in London last September—with 20 girlfriends wearing her handmade, off-kilter party dresses in a church hall—Goddard is now supplying stores including Dover Street Market, whipping up a personal order from Björk and looking for more studio space. She left her M.A. course at Central Saint Martins, where she’d studied under the late professor Louise Wilson, a year early to focus on putting together the spring 2015 collection. Her hope was that it would help her get a job. While she always wanted to have her own label, she assumed she’d work for someone else first. “There was no budget, basically,” says Goddard in an interview at Rose Bakery, on the top floor of London’s Dover Street Market, of her September outing. “I never thought it was going to be a collection I would end up selling. To sell, I thought you had to have a show, or do a proper presentation—and this was a party, really.” Her showstopping designs, exaggerated takes on children’s clothing and the stuff of little girls’ dress-up boxes, are now stocked in Dover Street Market in London and New York, I.T in Hong Kong
