The Coreprêt Paper

I have big news to share today, which comes from a place of deep consideration and respect for what I have built with Coreprêt and all the love and support I’ve received from you along the way. I have made the bitter sweet decision to close down all business operations of Coreprêt for the foreseeable future (please read on for specific dates, this is not forever I am simply taking a well extended break) Our 'AW24 Long Service Leave' will be our final collection. 

Our outfit - Home ‘Work’ - explores the future of sustainability by celebrating locality through design. This outfit brings together our love of tailoring and playful, yet workable silhouettes, with materiality as the muse. Shaping our vision of the future of fashion, have a read and let us know what you think!

By slowing down, refining our product and diversifying our services we’re challenging the notion of #businessasusual and reimagining what it is to be a designer in this modern world.

As 2019 draws to a close, we find ourselves not only reflecting on a year full of both business and personal development, but tentatively bracing ourselves for what 2020 will bring.

How to live your values, not just profess them. We interact with textiles almost every minute of every day, so ensuring they meet your personal ethics is of utmost importance. We’ve all heard of conscious buying habits, but what else is there?

We do not see ourselves as simply fashion designers, nothing is singular in its existence, everything around us informs how we behave and interact in a much larger, collective network.

We’ve spent time understanding the fashion and textile industry (globally and locally), researched the transition from linear to systems thinking and grappled with the concept of how to produce clothing whilst upholding personal ethics.
