the rising stars S/S 2010

Meadham Kirchhoff

By Emma Sells

With their crisp white shirts, beautifully structured tailoring and a killer skinny-leg trouser, it comes as no surprise that Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff, started their careers with a menswear line. What is surprising is how beautifully they translate these menswear references into truly feminine collections for Meadham Kirchhoff, the womenswear line they have been creating since 2006. They met at Central St Martins, where British born Meadham studied womenswear, and French born Kirchhoff menswear, and have been honing their talent for a dark but desirable aesthetic. Their skill is to take their classic staples, their distinctive rock’n’roll edge and meld them with perfectly on-trend references. Last season, they listed their inspirations as ‘desire, sex and luxury’ which translated into deconstructed tailoring with raw-edged jackets and shirts, copper-wire brocades and crystal embroidery, and spectacularly decorated Manolo Blahnik boots.
