New & Lingwood announce collaboration with Lisa King
The luxury British menswear brand, New & Lingwood, have created a unique collaboration with the London-based print artist, Lisa King, in a celebration of heritage and slow craft. Together they have created a capsule showcase of garments using reworked vintage textiles, which will be displayed for London Craft Week, from 13 - 19 May 2024.
Lisa has worked with New & Lingwood’s Creative Director Tom Leeper to reimagine New & Lingwood’s signature pieces, using Lisa’s unique Indonesian batik fabric collection, all expertly crafted by the atelier on Jermyn Street. Fusing British tailoring with Southeast Asian cloth & craftsmanship, the pieces will be on display at New & Lingwood’s neighbourhood store on Chiltern Street for the duration of Craft Week.
On uncovering a vast archive of Thai, Indonesian and Japanese textiles left to her by her late mother, Lisa embarked upon a journey to find out the story behind the fabrics and felt inspired to honour the striking collection by incorporating Batik, the art of wax-resist dyeing into her own textile practice. In 2023 New & Lingwood launched RE:NEW which was foregrounded in craft, slow production, cloth innovation, recycling, resale and repair processes.
