Clements Ribeiro

DESIGNER NAMES: Inacio Ribeiro and Suzanne Clements

BACKGROUND: The couple met and graduated at Central Saint Martins.

IDEAL CLIENT: “The one who wears and keeps our pieces as an expression of themselves."

THE COLLECTION: “We have been inspired by our recent trip to Brazil. In no way ethnic or folkloric, our inspiration came from the urban optimism and the colours. Original aspects of our work have also informed our collection and preoccupations with simplicity, modesty and the fifties.”

LONDON TIPS: “The Olympic Park is obligatory; don’t we all want to check out Kapoor’s tower and all the new buildings? Edvard Munch at the Tate: his ‘Scream’ is pure 2012. The atrium at the new Central Saint Martins building in King’s Cross is also a must-visit: breathe the creativity and drink the new creative hub as it blossoms.”

FUTURE PLANS: “Survive, expand and conquer!”
