| Christopher Raeburn Emerging Talent - Menswear British Fashion Awards 2011 |
Congratulations to Christopher Raeburn on winning the Emerging Talent award for Menswear at the British Fashion Awards earlier this week. I know it sounds like a cliche but it couldn't have gone to a nicer person. Hugely talented too. Well deserved!
When I first met Raeburn at London Fashion Week in February 2010, he was showing his collection of jackets, bombers and parkas created from re-appropriated military materials. I was blown away by the innovation, research and sourcing behind the beautifully crafted collection. I have followed Raeburn's progress ever since.
Raeburns signature designs are his flyweight wind-cheaters, which are constructed from de-commissioned military parachutes. Each streamlined style is cleverly pieced together, incorporating taped seams and screen printed panels to create a contemporary collection.
All pieces in his collection are remade in England.
