Nigel Cabourn
Tough, but never hard. Feminine, but never fragile.
Focus on the new women's line for sophisticated military style.
The "Nigel Cabourn WOMAN" line from Nigel Cabourn, which began its gradual rollout from the 2013-14 Autumn/Winter collection, will officially launch this season. The debut show vividly showcased military and workwear for the sophisticated woman.

Military and workwear are also gaining attention as a trend in women's fashion. "Nigel Cabourn WOMAN" proposes a similar aesthetic, skillfully maintaining the brand's unique worldview while achieving sophisticated designs and styling.
Nigel Cabourn Womens Collection aims to translate the dignity and spirit of women who lived through turbulent times into something befitting contemporary women. The target audience is active, cool, strong, independent women who know what they want. It is a collection for those who enjoy the balance of masculinity and femininity, for example, by pairing a menswear-inspired military jacket with a feminine Victorian blouse.
Reliable garments that empower modern women.
The collection retains Nigel Cabourn's signature strengths: timeless designs, premium fabrics, and meaningful details. Popular menswear silhouettes serve as the foundation, with fits and designs adapted for women.
Additionally, the collection features newly designed items inspired by the clothing worn by resilient and feminine women during wartime, exemplified by photojournalist Gerda Taro, a co-founder of the international photography collective Magnum.
Fabrics include Harris Tweed and Ventile, both iconic British materials also used in the menswear line, with slight weight adjustments for women. Custom-developed materials exclusive to the womenswear line are also incorporated. This allows for an active, tough, yet feminine style rarely seen in other women's brands.
