On September 5, 2019 at 7:00 PM, the church will be full, the sound of music will fill the air and, at some point in the evening, a model will step into the light.
This is the launch of Core – the new permanent, non-seasonal and non-gendered fashion collection from Berthold fashion design house.
The event, that takes place at the Swiss Church in Covent Garden, London, marks a turning point in the brand’s history. From then on, Berthold will no longer
be following the fashion herd with seasonal releases, but building around this new Core collection with a number of limited editions.

Founded and led by Austrian-born designer Raimund Berthold, Berthold is the London-based clothing brand for the makers and shapers of culture.

A graduate of Central St Martins, Raimund Berthold spent four years working with leading fashion houses in London and New York, before launching Berthold in
2009.
As the creative heart of the brand, Raimund Berthold draws from the worlds of contemporary art and architecture to create bold, elegant and inventive non-
gendered garments that go their own way; clothes defined by design, not catwalk trend.

With a pronounced emphasis on quality and craftsmanship, Berthold is characterised by precision, materiality, a utilitarian approach to colour, and
silhouettes that resist defined shapes.
