Designers

 

Rundholz or Studio Rundholz is one of our favourite clothing collections. This womens collection is created by the man and wife team Carsten and Lenka Rundholz who have been producing their innovative clothing since 1993.

 

Rundholz never disappoint and they now produce 3 labels. Rundholz, Rundholz Dip and the Rundholz Black label. Corniche stocks all three. The Rundholz collections are special and appeal to women who look beyond the ordinary and care more about the look, style and pleasure of a piece of clothing than the label itself, put simply Rundholz appeals to sophistication. Rundholz is the mainline collection as is Rundholz Dip the difference being the Dip label is overdyed. The Rundholz Black label is more accessible pricewise.

 

 

Nigel Cabourn what can we say? we love Nigel Cabourn collections, his clothing is strong, beautifully made and whilst, more often than not, based on retro-styles taken from his ever-growing personal collection, is innovative and extremely wearable.

 

The manufacture and fabric quality of Cabourn clothing leaves the majority of designers way behind and wondering why they cannot produce to such a high standard. Nigel Cabourn collections use the very finest fabrics, handwoven Harris Tweed, Original Ventile, cashmeres and the highest quality cottons etc. No short cuts are taken and there are no compromises. This results in very special clothing of a standard seldom seen. Outerwear, casualwear and smart are all part of a Nigel Cabourn collection. Check it out you will love it.

 

The Nigel Cabourn collections are Authentic (made in the UK England and the knitwear in Scotland) label and the Mainline Japanese (made in Japan) Label. For over forty years Nigel Cabourn has worked in the fashion industry, following his own way rather than most people’s concept of fashion. He is not influenced by trends but by a longstanding passion for vintage and retro clothing, fabrics and details and has one of the largest collections of retro and vintage clothing, which he uses as inspiration for his designs.

 

Nigel Cabourn was a student at Northumbria University from 1967-1971 and he started his own label while still in his final year and remained working and living in the North East of England. Nigel has collected vintage clothing for over 30 years and has an archive of over 4,000 pieces, including salvaged British Military uniforms and workwear and a trove of exploration garments unearthed from all corners of the globe. It is this ever increasing vintage collection that is the cornerstone of each collection, not a response to a particular trend or general demand. Each collection has a real story, sense of history and integrity underpinned by the highest level of quality. Today the Nigel Cabourn team work from the beautiful house at the bottom of his garden, which is the perfect showroom and working studio. It overlooks the local cricket pitch and we never want to leave when we visit!

 

Miyson clothing is excellent and we are delighted to be working closely with this great, quintessentially English label. Specialising in traditional styling with a real twist. Cool, elegant and with real style combined with the quality of manufacture that we love and find so rare.

Whilst fairly new to the scene Miyson show a true appreciation of quality in manufacture and in their sourcing of fabrics from tradition UK suppliers, who have been supplying quality for decades ( over 200 years in one case).

 

Miyson shirting is manufactured for them by two suppliers, both of which have been supplying Jermyn Street and Saville row for 45 years and 35 years respectively. The quality is the very finest with French seams to ensure the neatest finish inside.

We can assure you that you will not be disappointed with Miyson clothing, quite the opposite we know you will love this wonderful collection. We are negotiating the stocking of their full range and a range of clothing specially made for Corniche, so watch this space.

 

 

 

 

What can I say about Comme des Garcons, after so many years, Rei Kawakubo still oversees some of the very best in clothing design. Never a follower, always leading from the front, over the years we have seen that Comme des Garcons can be over 10 years ahead of everyone else. What is in vogue now probably was being done by Rei 10 year or more ago. We are delighted to once again be stocking these wonderful clothes, we are also doing the perfumes for those who want something different in a scent. We look forward to doing more and more of these clothes in the future.

Corniche has been stocking Vivienne Westwood clothing for men from before it was the Man collection and we are always delighted at how the styles and designs continue to develop. The Vivienne Westwood Man label can provide an alternative to the mundane suit, with something cut with care and panache whilst being wearable for any purpose. The Man label also includes cutting edge drunk shirts and fantastic coats and jackets, for the more style conscious. Highly recommended the Westwood Man label is for anyone looking for something a little or a lot different.

Masnada clothing is not designed for the masses, but rather will appeal to a select clientele, with a strong sense of style. So if you love strong, distinct shapes and looks then you will love Masnada.

 

 

 

 

Design, quality and utility are the three core brand values cited by High's British designer fashion, 'modern couturier', Claire Campbell, who is recognized as a leading creative talent in contemporary clothing design. A breath of fresh air in todayÂ’s fashion scene, high aims to create contemporary classics over transient fashion and clothing design for everyday use over occasional wear. As Claire Campbell says 'the men's and women's clothing and accessory collections designed for high exude a quiet elegance and wealth of tradition that is communicated when clothes work and become part of a person’s life'.

 

The starting point of these multi-purpose, functional clothes and accessories is a great respect for tradition and craftsmanship, for beauty born of utility. Looking back to original, hand-stitched, soft-wearing fashion clothing, the high collections turn clothing essentials into contemporary classics for everyday. Claire Campbell has aimed to create functional yet sophisticated everyday couture garments with a human touch. We love the High collection and we are sure you will to.
