Peachoo Datwani & Roy Krejberg created their brand in 2004.They like to mix references, styles and codes and have an architectural approach to the construction of clothes. Traditional couture techniques are combined with sharp cutting to obtain a very personal style built-up of contrasting volumes and proportions.They do not believe in a specific inspiration for a collection. They design modern clothes with a soul and believe in moving ahead with the times and influences.The interplay of shape and fabric, technology combined with ancient handcrafted skills are values intrinsic to all their collections.

PEACHOO
Of Indian origin, Peachoo Datwani moved to Paris in the early 80’s and collaborated for many years in the design and development of a French womenswear company. Subsequently she moved into the world of decoration with a collection of home textiles, objects and furniture sold under her own name. Peachoo has exposed her various collections in galleries in France and Italy and collaborated with architects/interior designers.

KREJBERG
Born in Silkeborg, the Danish Roy Krejberg grew up in this lake region before leaving to study at the “Danish Academy of Fashion and Design”. On graduation, he was spotted by Soes Drasbek with whom he worked on various collections and travelled around the world as part of his job. In 1994, his methods, his personal style and his desire to follow through his ideas led him to cross paths with Kenzo Takada. They worked together for many years on the menswear collections. Roy’s contempory vision mixed with Japanese accents opened new doors for the house of Kenzo. On Kenzo Takada’s departure in 1999, Roy became the creative director of Kenzo Homme. His collections have been acclaimed around the world until his departure in December 2002.
