, by the age of 17 Bolton had his sights set on a career in curation, and enrolled in an undergraduate course in anthropology at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. “It’s interesting because anthropology is really about the study of people and their behaviour. That is so much a part of fashion,” he says. “I tend to approach themes through an anthropological lens first and foremost, then I use the garments to tell my story.
