Benjamin Kirchoff, Nafir Mazhar, Christopher Shannon and Edward Meadham
Funky and original designs, these two are set to become legacies in the Fashion World.
The pair graduated from renowned arts college Central St. Martins in 2002. Edward Meadham studied womenswear and Benjamin Kirchhoff studied menswear.
After graduating they launched Benjamin Kirchhoff a menswear line. In 2005 they were selected to show in Fashion East's first MAN show. The year later, Fashion East recruited them again they were also chosen for one of the coveted New Generation slots they launched their first foray into womenswear and created Meadham Kirchhoff.
Like most young talent the pair struggled at first to gain recognition and as there were no reviews they had no idea what to do next or what improvements to make.
They have no managed to find their ground and created a signature look which has a decidedly gothic feel. They claim that their perfect customer is Courtney Love and they want to challenge the stereotypical roles of how women should dress.
Their quirky and sometimes outlandish designs will put you ahead of the fashion pack and the elegant touches like hand painted blue roses on the black leather biker jacket give reason to why they have been hailed as emerging talent for Ready-to Wear clothing.
