Autumn/Winter 2011 looks to see the launch of the new One Nine Zero Six brand, which is an offshoot Made In Britain brand from Japanese owned Gymphlex label. Behind the designs is Jeff Griffin, whom some may know is behind the Griffin label from the UK. As for ONe Nine Zero Six, expect a collection filled with subtle and relaxed silhouettes in the areas of outerwear, shirting, knitwear and accessories that all made in Britain. There’s a bit of heritage influence as well as clean geometric designs in the collection. Overall it matches well with a silent yet sophisticated color range that is quite unique to the upcoming season.
Visit: One Nine Zero Six
Gymphlex have developed sportswear, workwear and high performance fabrics for over 100 years.
The company have dressed British sporting champions, the oldest English schools, the British military and have manufactured for some of the most renowned English brands including Burberry, Barbour and Lonsdale.
Although the company has always been a ‘quiet’ brand in the UK, Gymphlex is well known throughout Japan. The company began selling to the Japanese market in 1990 where the brand now has a significant turnover.
One Nine Zero Six is an important return to British manufacturing and design. One Nine Zero Six is a contemporary collection incorporating design details, finishes and heritage materials all inspired by the Gymphlex archive.
The support of UK manufacturers and manufacturing has long been identified as one of the company’s key aspirations and reasons for developing and producing this collection.
Although we have seen the slow decline of the British manufacturing industry over the past two decades, there are still some wonderful manufacturers to work with in the UK, although much more difficult to locate these days. They are mostly busy, working quietly away in far off “bolt holes” of the country for most of the international brands we are all familiar with but are never informed about.
Through careful research, we have located the best equipped manufacturing partners to produce our AW11 collection to the high quality standards we have put into place for the ONE NINE ZERO SIX Made In England by Gymphlex collection.
They range from local artisan jersey knitters, Savile Row shirt makers, traditional single layer outerwear manufacturers, through to small independent trouser makers that manufacture for specialist shooting and outdoor pursuit labels.
All have many years of skilled experience in manufacturing to the very highest of quality standards.
