Archive Introduction

The design archive spans more than 20 years of English Eccentrics history and includes over 3,000 pieces, some worn by notable celebrities of the day.

The Collections 1983-2007

The English Eccentrics archive at our Kentish Town studio contains thousands of items from our back catalogue, including film footage from past catwalk collections available on request. All archived clothing and accessories can be searched by year and season.

We have also kept examples of interesting projects, created outside of the English Eccentrics main collections, for The Brighton Pavilion, The Royal Academy of Art, The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and the retailer, Joseph.

Key pieces from the English Eccentrics archive feature in the collections of the Museum of London, the V&A and the Art Institute of Chicago.

The Sketchbooks 1983-2007

For more than 20 years, English Eccentrics Design Director, Helen David has created detailed sketchbooks in preparation for her new collections. We’ve chosen a selection of sketchbook pages to appear here for the very first time, exclusive to our online audience.
