Christopher Raeburn has established his eponymous brand with responsible and intelligent fashion design for a global audience. The RÆMADE ethos in particular has pioneered the reworking of surplus fabrics and garments to create distinctive and functional pieces.

Alongside this, a highly collaborative spirit informs luxurious, handcrafted and award-winning products with integrity and purpose. This innovative approach, with an unusual balance of high concept, accessibility and wearability, is applied to menswear, womenswear, luggage and accessories.

“I think as a designer you have an obligation to consider what you are doing and why; ultimately, we want to make strong, responsible choices that provide our customers with a completely unique and desirable product” – Christopher Raeburn

Sustainability is at the heart of everything Raeburn does. Whereas, sustainability has only recently come into practice in the last year or so, Raeburn’s whole career has been built on it. Not only does he make informed decisions when it comes to designing, but he also opts for living sustainably. Although it’s becoming more current, it’s still extremely rare to have someone in this industry with such a vision and concern for the environment. Similar to the brands above, Christopher Raeburn is yet another brand that puts the needs of the planet above making a profit.

Aswell as being such an influential designer in the fashion industry, Christopher Raeburn hosts regular workshops and tutorials in which he welcomes members of the public educating them about the importance of repairing instead of sending clothes to landfill. Unlike other brands, Raeburn encourages this approach instead of buying new.
