Junk Kouture was Archie Putnam’s introduction to fashion and sewing, where he developed foundational skills in sewing and pattern cutting. His Junk Kouture journey took him to the first-ever World Final at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. He has since completed his second year at London College of Fashion, studying Fashion Design and Development, and is now undertaking his placement year. Archie is currently working as an atelier intern with Jenny Packham for five months, before joining Yaku as a studio intern for a further eight months.
