As
owner and designer, Claire Kingan-Jones has built a reputation for
beautiful, feminine clothing, in tactile fabrications, that offer
the wearer a glimpse of the glamour of times less fraught with stress
than today, updated for our modern, busy lifestyle.
Exquisite fabrics, unique prints and garments that scream out
to be touched and worn get the Auckland-based fashion designer excited
about her work.
Kingan-Jones studied fashion design in her hometown of Port Elizabeth,
South Africa. She started her own surf/streetwear label there, before
leaving on her “OE” in 1989. During her four years in
England her life changed direction - she met her Kiwi husband and
moved to New Zealand with him in 1992.
Calling on her training and all she’d seen and learned on her
travels, she set up Robin Jones Clothing in 1993. Women loved her
designs and the company had grown ready to move into the Australian
market by 1996. Her labels are now stocked in more than 75 boutiques
in New Zealand and Australia. |
