Nigel Cabourn: New Website & S/S 10 Preview

Nigel Cabourn's website has just been relaunched and among other things, it features a full preview of his Spring/Summer collection. I won't say too much about it now as I'm sure we'll be highlighting many of these things in detail over the next few months. Overall though, it's based on the contents of Nigel's father's army handbook. He used this as a diary in Burma and India between 1942 and 1945. Many of the new pieces are inspired by photographs he took and the clothing he wore at the time. The rest of the site provides all the information you'd expect with trademark attention to detail. The imagery is well chosen and beautifully presented, the product shots are great and there's several interesting sections under development. The highlight though has to be the glimpses we're given of Nigel's vintage collection. There's five pieces featured at the moment, but I'd imagine this section will gradually be updated, providing rare insight into the inspiration behind the brand. On a side note, I'd also like to thank Nigel, Drew, Ali and everyone else at Cabourn for using my words and James' photography as part of the biography. To be included is a massive honour, not only for us personally but for Inventory as a whole.

Nigel Cabourn Spring–Summer '10 Collection


Nigel Cabourn Vintage Collection Pieces

I need to start saving.

Amazing stuff, as usual. I think my favorite piece is the Johns Pant. It's a nice take on the cargo, and the tall waistband is something you don't see. That Rangoon jacket is quite sharp as well.

I, personally, can't wait for FW10- British Naval Convoys. Predictable? Probably.

[admin]

^No way! You're looking forward to the Naval collection? Haha I am excited to see it next month as well.
We'll have the Rangoon jacket, Cricket sweater in full sleeves and I couple other items this spring in the Inventory Stockroom...

I would love to see some of it in person someday... somewhere...

[zissou]

Very funny, Mr. Admin! :) I hope you guys can score some photos of FW10 from Pitti.

[K]

Talked with Drew yesterday and he told me the line is amazing for FW10... Much bigger collection also:)
Looking forward to have a look at it at Pitti!

[Simon]

@ K... Yeah, I'm excited to see FW10 as well. I think winter garments lend themselves more fully to Nigel's talents and reference points. He's definitely a designer that excels at outerwear.

[K]

Yeah, his outerwear is very good...

Also gonne have a look at Yuketen, Nanamica, Engineered and Woolen Mills at Pitti:)
Jesus gonne be a hectic month in january.
