Chelsea Thorpe's eponymous label has been an accumulation of years of designing, drawing and constructing garments for her and her friends. Her background in design and fine arts and owning her boutique Modern Lovers in Gisborne has honed her distinctively feminine, yet cleanly modern aesthetic.Blurring the line between classic and contemporary structures, the Chelsea Thorpe label encompasses many elements to produce a collection that is both highly feminine and beautifully functional.
A receptive fan base has resulted in an extremely successful first year, with five boutiques throughout New Zealand stocking Chelsea Thorpe as well as her own store Modern Lovers.
