Creating space for Emotional Studies, Dynamic Performance and Practicality combined with Tailored Elegance
René Scheibenbauer launched his eponymous label in London in 2019, offering a wardrobe of contemporary tailoring, designed for modern city living with a focus on functionality, movement, and emotional connection. With each collection, Scheibenbauer explores the wearer’s experience: how they feel, how they move, and how they feel when they move through the world in his clothes.
The brand creates a contemporary wardrobe with designs characterised by complex, sensual pattern cutting and sleek functionality, creating dynamic opportunities for everyday movement and urban lifestyles. Key design elements include four-way stretch fabrics, sculpturally draped that allow movement and functional details like hidden compartments and adjustable, interactive details.
Scheibenbauer’s collections are informed by personal research and community-driven studies, exploring the relationship between identity, emotional connection, and personal style, while examining how clothing influences the way we feel.
René Scheibenbauer graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2018 where his collection 'Empathy, Connection, Play' was awarded runner-up of the ‘L’Oréal Professionel Young Talent Award’.
