Born and Raised in Durham, Jake Treddenick moved to London in 2013 to study at the London College of Fashion.

WORKING CLASS SCUM!
We live in times of manipulation. The politicians are inadequate, the stereotypes are jokes and the genders we adhere to are crumbling around us. They demonise, demoralise and drain the disadvantaged. Money politics leads to bullshit social injustice. We are cabinets of curiosities to the elite bureaucracy. They smother us. Who the fuck are them to decide our future?
We are WORKING CLASS SCUM!
