The Designer
Philip Stephens had a varied career before he landed back on Planet Fashion working in interior design, event management and club promotion. He started the fashion/lifestyle consultancy Concrete PR and Marketing in 1996 and the Concrete Shop followed 4 years later. The UNCONDITIONAL collection was initially designed exclusively for the shop but Louis Boston became his first wholesale customer and encouraged him to expand the range. There are now over 90 international stockists in 18 countries.
The Collections
They are a winning combination of the laidback and the edgy. The backbone of the collection is luxury basics and knitwear with an overlay of special pieces that are relaxed in style and sometimes mildly androgynous. While Unconditional has a very London attitude it also embraces the clean simplicity of American style. Environmentally friendly tendencies and the collection mainly uses natural fabrics produced and dyed as ethically as possible - cotton, silk, cashmere, merino and leather. The collections have a diverse range of celebrity customers which include Brad Pitt, David Beckham, Jude Law, Adrian Brody, to David Bowie and Depeche Mode, Kasabian and Mika. Cameron Diaz, Tori Amos, Madonna, Kelis, Skin, Jade Jagger, Amy Winehouse, and Sheryl Crow are female fans.
