Clements Ribeiro's graphically patterned cashmere has become its trademark: from rainbow stripes to this striking Union Jack insignia, which symbolized the 1990s upswing in British fashion fortunes known as "Cool Britannia".

They met at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, married and moved to Brazil after graduating. They designed their first joint collection in London in 1993. The success of their womenswear collections led in the late 1990s to the launch of a cashmere menswear line. In 2000 they revived the house of Cacharel in Paris where they were creative directors until 2007.
