Educated at Bryanston and the Parson School of Art & Design in New York, Jasper Conran’s first collection was designed for Henri Bendel New York. In 1979, aged just 19, Jasper Conran designed his first collection under his own name. The following year he was elected to the London Designer collections.
With two Fil d'Or International Linen awards in 1982 and 1983 and by now an internationally established label, Jasper Conran was awarded British Designer of the Year in 1986 and the Fashion Group of America award the following year.
It was his association with the Debenhams store group and his exclusive J Line womenswear collection launched in 1996 that allowed a wider audience to buy into the distinctive Jasper Conran style. Today that association has expanded to include jeans, accessories & hosiery, homeware, bridalwear, childrenswear, lingerie and most recently, menswear.
Jasper Conran began designing his signature range of crystal for Waterford in 1999. That endeavour has evolved into four unique lines for Waterford and a complimentary tableware collection in fine bone china for Wedgwood. This range has recently expanded to include five new lines – including chinoiserie, platinum stripe and coloured china. The Jasper Conran for Wedgwood Collection has been the number one selling porcelain tableware throughout the UK.
In 2003, Jasper Conran signature fragrance was launched followed by an award-winning home fragrance.
