CORNÉ GABRIËLS
Collection Autumn/Winter 2008-2009 ‘Storm’
The new Autumn/Winter 2008-2009 collection of Corné Gabriëls is based on a guy named
Storm. Showing the connection between weather and emotion, he symbolizes the more poetic
side of atmospheric conditions. When a raincloud bursts into tears and thunder into anger,
Storm shows that he is only human. Sturdy but sensitive, bold and vulnerable, this guy stands
for stepping out of the mainstream and daring to show character, without being afraid to
raise a storm of protest. With violent and noisy outbursts, he has his tender and happy side
that will finally show.
Corné Gabriëls likes to push some buttons. His work is often described as conceptual, but
very wearable. His ideas are mainly existing concepts, but he lets you look at it in another
way. Emotion and humour are very important in his work, his designs are daring without
being loud. Being poetic and tongue in cheek at the same time, he lifts his work to another
level, combining a storytelling way of presenting.
His new collection consists of knitwear, prints, and trompe l’oeil effects, the latter can be
seen as Corné Gabriëls trademark. The collection is divided in two parts, the haute couture
clothing and the prêt-a-porter accessories. Parts of his CG/Accessory collection are now
being sold at Droog at Home and the Lloyd Hotel Shop in Amsteram and Coming Soon in
Arnhem. The accessories are also available in his online shop and the clothes are presented
in the So Dutch Fashion showroom. His new accessory collection will be directly and
exclusively available in his web shop on www.cornegabriels.com.
