Nigel Cabourn, the legendary designer

Procrastination, n.f, tendency to postpone, systematically until the next day.Ramdane Touhami hates this definition. In Procrastinophobic, he sets out to meet those who are in perpetual motion and who mark their era: musicians, artists, athletes, designers, gallery owners, entrepreneurs... They have one thing in common: to always be in action.In this episode, Ramdane engages in a fascinating conversation with the cult British designer Nigel Cabourn, about fifty years producing collections.Cabourn detailed his early life, from his passion for football to the influence of pop music, the decision to pursue fashion design, attending Newcastle Fashion College, then starting his own business by 1969. His early career saw the launch of Cricket Manufacturing Limited, producing garments and expanding internationally with the help of Paul Smith. Cabourn discussed the decline of small fashion shops due to big commercial groups, and his inspiration from vintage military clothing, which influenced his use of fabrics like Ventile. Realisation: Elsa Daynac Hosted on Acast.
