Designer Profile: Clive Rundle (RSA)

LABEL: Clive Rundle

EST. DATE: 1980s

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: Born in Zimbabwe, Clive Rundle grew up in South Africa and studied fashion design in Johannesburg. He is often referred to as a constructionist and not a fashion designer and is consequently known for his intricate structures. The inherent construction of his patterns can lead the translation in any direction - frugal, avant-garde, classical, elaborate and contemporary. His language is that of beauty through meticulous use of form, line, colour and texture.

RETAIL OUTLETS: Clive Rundle

WINTER RANGE: A riot of colour and patterns underpinned by master construction and tailoring. Bright pinks, polka dots and flowers jostle for attention on coats and dresses that are set off by statement-making neckpieces and bracelets constructed from children’s plastic toys.
