Arjowiggins Creative Papers unveils collaboration with designer Jean-Pierre Braganza at London Fashion Week

An exclusive creative partnership with top fashion designer Jean-Pierre Braganza has been unveiled at London Fashion Week to mark the upcoming rejuvenation of the Rives Collection – a distinct and daring range of directional papers combining elegance and quality from Arjowiggins Creative Papers.
Cutting-edge designer Jean-Pierre Braganza has worked with Arjowiggins Creative Papers to create pieces for his Autumn/Winter 2010/11 collection using the new Rives papers in ‘Le Bleu’ and ‘Le Noir’. Both are new additions to the range, continuing the longstanding relationship between the Rives Collection and the world of high fashion.

The designer crafted two signature accessories to his new collection – an exquisitely engineered corset and a structured cuff-style bracelet, which were revealed on the catwalk at his show at the Bloomsbury Ballroom on the opening day of London Fashion Week.

A former protégé of Karl Lagerfeld, Braganza is renowned in fashion circles for his signature architectural shapes and bold use of colour. He says of the collaboration: “I have always pushed the boundaries and explored ways of working with alternative materials, and the new Rives Collection presented an interesting challenge in sculpting fashion pieces from paper which complement elements of my new collection.”
