Preen by Thornton Bregazzi

Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi are the design duo behind Preen. They debuted at London Fashion Week in Spring 2001 to great success and continue to wow the fashion world with their modernist look. The duo entered fashion with refreshing unconventionality; they are known for their use of traditional fabric and clean, modernist construction. They have carefully built up their business and Preen is now internationally stocked in over 160 stores worldwide. The duo opened their first Preen boutique in Portobello Road in 1996 where they have built up a loyal clientele. The label has now successfully grown into two catwalk collections showing in two different capitals, “Preen by Thornton and Bregazzi” and “Preen Line”. www.preen.eu

Preen Spring/Summer 2012

Virginia, Preen’s Spring/ Summer 2012 collection is titled for their musings on English author Virginia Wolfe. Thornton and Bregazzi’s directional brand of quiet luxury continues to explore their perennial themes of proportion and modernity in kaleidoscopic hues. Handcrafted flounces lend structure to the simple silhouette. These delicate compositions in faggoted silk and crepe bestow a scarce romanticism on the bold geometry of the prints. Like modern heirlooms the botanical prints and paisleys are digitalized and feature on separates layered with a metallic pixilated organza. The symmetrical monochrome print is scattered in antique beading and sequins. Heavy lace is textured or laminated. Preen flirt with the placement of the waistline: deftly switching from high and ladylike, cut close to the body to fluidity and the drop-waist. Their sense of tailoring remains. A lemon coloured trouser suit sits low and loose fitting. Light, delicate and powerful: nothing to be afraid of. [gallery columns="1"] www.preen.eu
