NIGEL CABOURN SPRING/SUMMER 2016










Nigel Cabourn can be described in one word: consistent. The British designer has been running his namesake label for nearly 50 years with no sign of slowing down.
As expected, Cabourn presented a British workwear-inspired collection with a certain sense of modernity that can only come from him. Yes, we do get a “heritage” vibe here, but there’s more going on. Extra baggy khaki trousers compliment long dresshirts with pockets. Did we mention overalls? About 30% of this collection is also a collaboration between Cabourn and Lybro, a 1920s Liverpool workwear brand recently revived by him. Even the signs used as props in this lookbook are genuine 1940s Lybro vintage advertisements — consistency at its best.
