Jean-Pierre Braganza

DESIGNER NAME: Jean Pierre Braganza

BACKGROUND: Born in Canada. Having graduated from Central Saint Martins, Jean-Pierre worked with Roland Mouret before setting up his own label.

SIGNATURES: “Constructed tailoring."

IDEAL CLIENT: “Strong and confident with good taste. She’s not afraid to embrace the dark side of life.”

TRADEMARK PIECE: “The structured, tailored blazer.”

THE COLLECTION: “Sacred geometry, samurai and Frank Herbert's Dune. The boy in me couldn't resist the pull of Game of Thrones either.”

CULTURAL INFLUENCES: “I was a drummer in an industrial rock band. This sonic harshness has always influenced my aesthetic and imbued my design. The influence of modern art is also undeniable, and science fiction and fantasy are always there tainting my imagination. In essence, it's modern ideas that I'm attracted to.”

PLANS FOR 2013: “A retail space in London and a return to menswear.”
