Helmstyle: Interview with Nigel Cabourn

Nigel Cabourn has worked in the fashion industry for over 40 years, but his clothing has little in common with most people’s concept of the word fashion. He is influenced not by trends but a longstanding passion for vintage clothing, fabric and details. These elements have formed the basis for much of his output over the years and continue to be a vital part of his collection today. In this interview with Helmstyle, he explains what draws him toward designing military-inspired clothing and why he considers himself a purist.
