Craver Thomas-Smith is a creative director and visual researcher from South London whose work thrives in the tension between art, fashion, and technology. He currently serves as the CEO of Luis De Javier. His practice revolves around reframing history while preserving its context, treating the past not as nostalgia but as material to be reconstructed with precision and rebellion.
He coined the phrase chic anarchy to describe his philosophy—a framework where intellect meets intimacy, and elegance coexists with disruption. It's the pursuit of refinement without obedience, beauty that critiques power while remaining composed.
Craver's visual language moves between couture and code, museum and street, ritual and data. His collaborations span across luxury and sound, bridging the discipline of high fashion with the pulse of contemporary music. A frequent collaborator of Phoebe Philo, Prada with additional contributions to the visual worlds of Frank Ocean, Daniel Caesar, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar.
