Designers

Rundholz

Rundholz 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.

Comme des Garcons

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.

Girbaud

Girbaud Girbaud is the internationally established clothing label created by French designers Marithe and Francois Girbaud. Girbaud produce various labels worldwide and are known for different looks in various places in the world. Corniche stock Girbaud for men and women including the mainline mens and Le Jean de Marithe et Francois Girbaud and the Actlife coats and jackets.

Vivienne Westwood Amglomania

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania is the more accessible label from the doyen of British fashion. Anglomania clothing is strong with the designs, shapes and tailoring for which Vivienne Westwood is so well-known. Corniche have been stocking Vivienne Westwood for over 20 years being one of the first shops to recognise this wonderful designer and lovely lady. Over the years we have stocked all the Vivienne Westwood clothing labels for women including the Gold and Red labels in addition to the Anglomania label. Currently we stock Anglomania and find customers throughout the world enjoy the wonderful designs introduced by Vivienne Westwood through the Anglomania label.

Vivienne Westwood Man

Vivienne Westwood Man is the main clothing collection created by Westwood for men. The designs range from the seriously cutting edge to classic suiting, so it appeals to a wide customer base. 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

Masnada Masnada clothing is strong, original and stylish. Masnada use the finest and most beautiful materials from which to create their highly tailored designs. Each Masnada garment is timeless and not trapped within a season and is something you can wear for ever. 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.

Nigel Cabourn

Nigel Cabourn what can we say? we love Nigel Cabourn, 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 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. 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 Cabourn team work and play in a converted gardener’s house at the bottom of his garden overlooking a cricket pitch and are the envy of everyone who visits them, especially when it’s summer and they’re working in the sunshine!

High

High 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 today’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.
