Stephanie Aman and Clare Copland met when they studied fashion at Middlesex University. Aman Copland will make their début appearance at On|Off showcasing their individually made womenswear in the designer exhibition area. Aman Copland is a luxury brand with the delicate end results attributed to the duo’s inexhaustible eye for detail and perfect finish. The garments are always 100% natural featuring silk chiffon, jersey, tuille, velvet, crepe, leather and cashmere. With an almost romantic, feminine feel, this collection will appeal to the woman who looks for a couture accent in her day and evening wear, appreciating the uniqueness of every garment she wears.

Huh! That's very sweet of you to say hello! Actually, if you could post more pictures from your collections, we'd definitely appreciate it.[Y] For myself, I definitely like the stuff you are doing, leaps and bouns over a lot of stuff we see from established designers.

AMAN COPLAND - NEW COLLECTION

Hello again.

apologies for not responding sooner.

I have just launched my new collection on my website - amancopland.com and wanted to inform all that are interested!

Have just finished our exhibition at On|Off during London Fashion week and are about to head off to White in Milan.

If any of you are interested aman copland are always up for personal orders of the collection.

Every piece is done using free drawn machine embroidery, so although we can put each piece into production it means that every garment is totally unique - and has been made by us in britain!

And the reason for this - "why produce anything that Topshop and the other high street stores can make for a tenth of the price???? there is no point - they will do it fast/better/cheaper than a small independent company like ours, however none of our stuff can be mass produced for vast consumption, their is too much craft involved, we are a company for those who know about clothes and appreciate the finer things in life!!!" well thats how we look at it.

PRESS RELEASE

?Identity Remained?

Autumn/Winter 2007-08

This is the second collection produced and exhibited by Aman Copland at London?s On|Off event during London Fashion Week.

As with all their creations, the February 2007 collection comprises free-drawn machine embroidery and hand-produced cutwork.

All garments are in either black or pearl, with the subtlest highlights of red, green and brown in delicate thread work. The whole collection is made from 100 % natural fibres with uncompromising quality. Quantities of silk (chiffon, jersey, habotai and tulle) are mixed with wool and black leather, to complement the soft floaty nature of the feminine designs.

What?s the theme of this collection? ? Well, it?s about when you die, it?s about what you chose to become and the preservation of that identity. In death, most people are buried or cremated and their bodies decay until nothing of the human form is left. However, in Palermo, Sicily, in the catacombs of the Capuchin monks, they have embalmed the dead for the last five centuries - and nowadays the place is open to tourists!

The families of the dead used to pay for their loved ones to be preserved in this twisted state and dressed them in their finest gear. This collection takes influence from these dead corpses and ponders the idea of preserving your identity for the world to see, as well as referencing the usual decaying process.

So?what piece of clothing would you decide to die in? Steph and Clare are hoping it might be one of their unique and special pieces??

The collection can be viewed online at www.amancopland.com from 12 February 2007.
