As fans of both British designer Christopher Raeburn and English luxury fashion brand Barbour, we for one are super excited about the news of their first Spring/Summer collection together.
Lightweight spring fabrics in new fresh, soft colours feature throughout the collection. Jackets, shirts, dresses and accessories create are an absolute must have collection that will sure to be on everyone’s wish list.
British fashion designer, Christopher Raeburn is renowned for his unique and innovative approach to design. His collections are defined by distinctive, aesthetic, meticulous detail, considered functionality and sustainable intelligence. Following on from a successful debut in Autumn Winter, the first Christopher Raeburn x Barbour spring summer collection combines this attention to detail with Barbour’s iconic shapes and styles.
The signature design features of Christopher Raeburn’s snow spot and Barbour’s tartan are cleverly woven throughout the range. The reversible waterproof Echo jacket uses the snow spot to the body and tartan to the arms and bellow pockets, a feature synonymous with Barbour, to create lightweight pieces, practical enough to wear on rainy summer days or cool evenings.
New colours of peachy pink and soft blues are the perfect nod to summer. One of our favourite stand out pieces is the wax cotton Victor parka in cadet blue is a relaxed smart casual jacket that works well with trousers.
Sarah Lawrenson, Head of Womenswear said “We are delighted to be working with Christopher again on our first spring summer collection. By introducing new colours in lightweight fabrics, we have created a collaboration that is unique in its design but still retains the distinctive features of both brands. It combines contemporary style with functionality in easy to wear, fun pieces that are perfect for summer.”
Christopher Raeburn said “It’s great to be working with Barbour for a second season, the collection represents another dimension to the partnership, offering a really playful and feminine take on signature summer staples. Our approach this season was to blend key references from both brands in terms of fabrications, prints and overall aesthetic to create a lightweight, wearable offering with a unique stand out style.”
Think it’s finally time to pack away our winter coats and prepare for the sunny months and with this exciting collaboration we know exactly what we’ll be wearing this Summer…
