An up and rising fashionable label from London, Colenimo was founded by London-based Japanese fashion designer Aya Nakagawa.
Hailing from Tokyo, an Asian metropolis known for its spectacular fashion scene, Nakagawa was a graduate from Tokyo Mode Fashion University.
After spending eight years working with Ambidex, a multi-brand fashion conglomerate as production manager and chief designer, she then moved to London in 2004, where she worked for Japanese brand Fig London, and followed by the assistant post at renowned label Rubecksen Yamanaka (founded by designers Hilde Rubecksen and Tomoko Yamanaka).

For the forthcoming fall/winter, Nakagawa escaped from the recurring fashion silhouettes of the past, which occurs within the adult fashion world. Instead, she made a trib back to the post-World War (1950's) and took references from how British boys and girls of the period dressed up, hence the collection's fancy title - Teddy Girls.
Bold and uniquely fancy, the collection plays with soft silhouettes and strongly suggests a sense of independence, self-expression, and admiration.

Other must haves that you shouldn't miss from this collection are plaid blouses (remember how Madonna used to love them and wore them throughout her Music period), oversized white blouse with triangular black-piping sailor collars, as well as the smart slim tailored pants.
Colenimo's fall/winter 2008-09 collection will be available exclusively to Charles Rowan Studio, London.
