Combining classic tailoring with contemporary elegance is no easy task, but Auckland designer Fleur Clarke’s quiet understated confidence is very much reflected in every line of her newly released summer collection under her label Reine.
The thoughtfully designed collection makes an instant impression. It is all the more remarkable for the fact there is absolutely no unnecessary fuss or frippery. Each detail, no matter how innocuous, has been carefully considered, with a clarity of thought and a discerning eye for excellence.
From exquisitely tailored shorts and dresses to sharply cut blazers, jackets, and tuxedo shirts, this is the ultimate capsule collection your soul has perhaps been yearning for. It’s timeless fashion at its finest, with elevated pieces of sheer elegance, infused with minimalist luxury.
Staying true to a core colour palette of the crispest white and deepest black, Fleur has carved her own niche in a busy marketplace. Her decades of experience in design, tailoring, and business have all led to this pivotal point where her point of view and her aesthetic is realised through Reine.
Every garment is designed, fit, and cut by hand in her Herne Bay studio, where Fleur delights in tailoring pieces to each form to ensure the perfect fit. The Reine summer collection is available online now or to view at the Reine studio.
