Chester Barrie
Chester Barrie is the ultimate Modern Tailor, taking established forms and developing them; creating the unexpected. The tailor’s art is to take a piece of cloth and create a three-dimensional form, to bring it to life so that it sculpts and flatters the wearer. Chester Barrie’s aim is to do this, not just with the standard suit and jacket but also with a broader product range.
Christopher Raeburn
Christopher has become known for his re-appropriation of military fabrics and in particular for iconic outerwear created from de-commissioned parachutes. The ‘RE-MADE’ ethos still guides and influences every aspect of the Christopher RƦburn design and development process; a Christopher RƦburn product is defined by distinctive aesthetic, meticulous detail, considered functionality and sustainable intelligence.
Christopher Shannon
Christopher Shannon Menswear began in 2008, with a vision of moving British menswear on from its legacy of fine tailoring and a mission to create modern, relevant garments drawing on diverse references. With sports wear on the up this modern twist on the old school hooligan football supporter style outfit is certainly something a lot of people will be wearing next year.
J.W.Anderson
At first an elaborate collection of accessories quickly attracted attention, enabling the fledgling label to show on-schedule during 2008’s London Fashion Week. The success of this debut collection earned both critical acclaim and commercial success for Anderson, whose label is now regarded as one of London’s most innovative and forward thinking brands. Its unique design aesthetic offers a modern interpretation of masculinity and femininity by creating thought-provoking silhouettes through a conscious cross-pollination between menswear and womenswear elements.
Margaret Howell
The designer established a studio in 1970 making men’s shirts, quickly attracting a loyal clientele who appreciated the quality fabrics and attention to detail. Today many of the designers shirts are still made by hand at the company’s dedicated shirt factory in North London. Although not her classic shirt and trousers combination, this bold stripe top with combined subtle tapered trousers has a Parisian feel about it but with a British finish.
