Stefan Cooke MANTEAUX ET BLOUSONS

Taking British heritage design to a forward-facing apex are Central Saint Martins MA graduates Stefan Cooke and partner Jake Burt. The London-based brand relies as much on meticulous technique as it does subversive invention in its quest to transform ordinary garments into refined statements of craft and character. With Cooke’s inventive manipulation of textiles and Burt’s precision in silhouette, their collections balance wearability and modern edge. Early acclaim, including the H&M Design Award and L’Oréal Professionnel Creative Award, underscored a vision that continues to produce clothing both thoughtful and provocatively original.
