HIGH was founded in 2007 by Claire Campbell out of a passionate desire to create high quality clothes that are useful, beautiful and desirable.
HIGH presents visibly different, innovative, intelligently designed garments with a signature style that are the result of a very particular process. Each piece is developed by hand from design sketch to a fully finished prototype, a process that has been named ‘Everyday Couture’.
All the HIGH collections are made and distributed in Italy by INTERFASHION spa with its extraordinary heritage of manufacturing skill and artisanal know-how.
Designed for independent, confident, smart people, HIGH embodies a romantic and eclectic aesthetic which is perfect for the seriously creative professional.
The brand encompasses two very distinct clothing categories:
The HIGH Collection is made using the highest production values with the most precious fabrics and intricate details. The clothes are built in three dimensions resulting in a strong silhouette with a distinctive sculptural aspect. These ingeniously constructed pieces are made in unexpected combinations of the finest quality natural materials. They are finished with embroidered edges, lace borders, layered hems, contrast bindings and linings, their femininity being often amplified by masculine references.
The HIGH collection extends into subsidiary collections each with their own specific product area and process:
HIGH BLUE Natural fabrics and denim in every shade of blue. A collection using the latest fabric treatments, washes and artisanal finishes that evolve through time and wear
HIGH KNIT Natural yarns are combined with advanced synthetics to create modern knitwear in bold shapes with the innovative use of knitting, stretch woven cloth and jersey.
HIGH USE Clothing inspired by Workwear and Uniform where traditional craftsmanship meets new technology. Practical, Useful, Natural and Playful.
A.GENDER Clothes consciously designed to be totally gender free. Beautiful pieces that transcend conventional categories of ‘menswear’ and ‘womenswear’
The HIGH TECH collection comprises of an amalgamation of city and leisure in which clothing with distinctive couture level design is made from high performance, low maintenance fabrics originating from active sports. These easy-wash, easy-wear pieces are made using materials that stretch and breathe with you enabling you to move freely and comfortably.
The collection is the result of exhaustive research into cutting edge fabric technology and manufacture, using fibres developed in the laboratory and incorporating laser cutting heat embossing and ultra-sound seaming.
HIGH TECH embraces the modernist belief that design and technology can change life for the better.
