Creating space for Emotional Studies, Dynamic Performance and Practicality combined with Tailored Elegance
​
London-based designer René Scheibenbauer blends collaboration and modern technology to craft dynamic clothing.
The fabrics are draped sculpturally across the body and allow movement, creating space, and featuring functional elements like compartments, hoods, pockets, and drawstrings. Reworking tailoring in an emotional, sensual way.
​
Focused on the wearer's experience, Scheibenbauer considers how they feel and move in his creations as they journey through the world. He seeks to rework tailoring into a contemporary wardrobe characterised by sleek functionality with the focus on creating dynamic opportunities for everyday movement.
After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2018, René was awarded runner-up of the ‘L’Oréal Professionel Young Talent Award’ for his collection ‘Empathy, Connection, Play’. As part of his research, René began hosting physical and digital workshops with a community of collaborators, to study the way that clothing made them feel, then using this research to inform his designs.
