Preen Clothing

Preen clothing was created by Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi in London in 1996 and has since gone global. Loved by celebrities, Preen clothes are big news. The designers' love of hard and soft can be seen in many pieces, while the punky edge of their first collection still shows through. Feminine silhouettes with brash prints and boxy cuts in clashing patterns make Preen clothing very unique. The Stylight Preen section features dresses, separates, swimwear and more.

Preen clothing - taking you back to the future

Preen is a young, exciting fashion label based in London that takes its inspiration from vintage fabrics and Victorian costume, reinventing them for the modern age in bold, boho-chic designs with a strong romantic allure and more than a touch of steampunk fantasy.

Perfect patchworks

With innovative approaches to cutting, draping and folding, the label's garments often mix tweeds, woolens, embroidery, lace and crochet for a highly textural finish, and all that is combined with African tribal and Asian influences for a look that's as much about the future as it is about the past.

Themes and techniques

The motifs the label uses to create drama on the catwalk include:

  • Lapels, hems and cuffs that are deconstructed and oversize
  • Jagged, origami style pleating
  • Geometrical beading and fringing
  • Contrasts of rough and smooth in the blending of printed and embroidered fabrics

If you're a lover of avant-garde fashion but you're also a bit of a romantic at heart, then you might well find yourself powerfully drawn to this selection of Preen clothing at Stylight.
