London Collections Men. The runway event, styled by i-D’s Fashion Editor Elgar Johnson, Showcased `Rodriguez’s collection to an attentive audience that gathered at the Royal Society of Arts on 15 June 2012.
Domingo was born to a Dominican father and English mother, moving to Liverpool when he was 5 years old where he would later study fashion design at John Moores University. Although he began his studies learning the craft from scratch after no
previous fashion experience, Domingo was quick to receive recognition and was awarded the Susan cotton travel scholarship, visiting Hong Kong and encountering his first taste of the luxury fashion market.

From his latest collection, which focuses on the framework of the human figure,expect relaxed computer knitted chevron jacquards and matching slouch jersey trousers.As well as crochet knitted t shirts and vests paired with loose fitted trousers and shorts,contrast with luxurious leather pieces that give the soft sports feel of the collection a refreshing yet sophisticated edginess. Domingo has also collaborated with Solid Grey to create a limited collection of rucksacks.
