Preen Return to London for Spring 2013

Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thornton in February 2001

Preen (aka Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thornton) have announced they will return to London Fashion Week for their Spring 2013 after a 6 year stint showing in New York.

Launched in 1996, they first set up shop in Portobello Market and became known for their juxtaposition of DIY style fabrics applied with sartorial tradition all equating to a very British sense of tongue-in-cheek chic.

Preen; to make oneself beautiful - the design duo adhere to the label's name with cuts and drapes designed to flatter and celebrate the body.

Bregazzi said,

"I spent two years working in our shop watching people trying trousers on and figured out a shape that flatters lots of people."

We thought it apt to share an editorial featuring Preen set amongst Canary Wharf.

Welcome back to London.
