Preen Designer Profile


Preen by Thornton Bregazzi was founded in London 1996 by Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi. The pair initially met at 18 years of age at an Art Foundation course before reuniting in later life to collaborate on their own line of clothing.

The brand is best known for producing wardrobe fundamentals mixed with a cutting edge aesthetic with hints of punk rock regalia. Characteristics include a play on textures and proportions, architectural lines and sharply tailored minimalistic garments.

A triumphant mix of androgyny paired with unexpected finite detail is the signature formula of the design duo.

Wardrobe staples include digital florals emblazoned on shirting, relaxed man style trousers, chiffon shirt dresses and elongated blazers cutting a sleek silhouette in which an abundance of masculinity is on offer.

Preen has evolved from its early design days yet still managed to maintain and stay true to their design philosophy. Reinvented classics and transformative updates continue in order to keep the label fresh and enigmatic.
