The designer, who has carved out a name for himself in the fashion industry thanks to his wildly successful brand, Christopher RÆBURN, will unveil his first collection for Timberland Fall/Winter 2020. He will continue to head up his own label which is based in London.

RÆBURN, pictured above right, will be a key to developing Timberland’s global creative vision across all product categories, marketing and in-store environments.

RÆBURN’s design ethos is based on three key principals—Remade, Reduced, Recycled—which aligns with Timberland’s commitment to manufacture collections responsibly and steadily increase the brand’s use of recycled, organic and renewable materials over time.

Timberland and RÆBURN first collaborated on a global apparel capsule collection, shown here, inspired by vintage Timberland pieces that debuted earlier this year and shown at London Fashion Week. The collection launches online and at retail today.
