Designers Tibor Matyas and Chris Liu
- Describe your brand and yourself individually.
- Both
individually and as designers we believe in fierce attention to detail and
quality. We are guilty of designing for ourselves as well as our customer and
so you see a lot of us reflected in the collection. Chris & Tibor is a
brand for the modern man who’s fast paced lifestyle demands practicality and
distinctive yet understated style. We have created the guys perfect accessory.
- Your first
made item that you were proud of?
- When you study
design you really begin to understand the precision and craft that is required
in the creation of anything of true quality, it was during this time that I
really started to develop my designs into something to be really proud of.
- When did you choose to become accessory designers?
Have you always wanted to create bags?
- The original
impetus behind the movement into accessories design was our dissatisfaction
with the bags that were available. Failing in the quest to find the perfect gym
bag, Chris decided to simply design and make his own. The continued creation of
bags was then inevitable, as a team we just knew that accessories were the way
to go.
- You are working in duo. How did you met?
- We met working
for Burberry Prorsum as design
consultants in 2004.
- Is there enough space for both ideas? How do you
work?
- In terms of
the design process Chris takes the lead however it is always a collaboration.
Of course we fight for our ideas, but that’s because we care so much about each
product. There is no detail left unconsidered, we deliberate over every aspect
of each design.
- Your brand is based in London and the bags are named after the
street/place names. Maybe you could tell short stories for some of your items?
Why Dalston bag has Dalston name,
etc.
- We have been
based in London,
individually and then as a design team for about a decade now and can’t imagine
being anywhere else. There is a life and spirit to London that you don’t find anywhere else,
this of course applies to the fashion industry but equally is evident just
walking down the street. Specifically the Dalston bag was named after the area
that our studio is based in.
- What things inspire you? Maybe you have unusual
inspirational sources?
- Though it
sounds like a cliché, we try to take inspiration from everything. The need for
practicality in our creations is inspired by our day-to-day lives; those
moments when you find yourself struggling with something that should be simple.
We try to apply that in our design process. The Strong Holdall Collection is
built on this principle. As an example, there’s the waterproof inner pocket for
an umbrella, everyone has experienced the need for that first hand.
- The process from primal idea to final outcome – how
long does it take, do you make research, etc.
- As with all
businesses there are many outside elements that contribute to the successful
creation of a product. The most recent collection took as much as 7 months to
complete, however this was largely due to difficulty with production and
retaining our specific requirements in terms of quality and detail.
- Ideal portrait of your customer.
- Our products
are aimed at dynamic, professional men who put excellent quality above all
else, quality of design and quality of materials. The Chris & Tibor and brand
is based on this ethos. Someone who is looking to buy our bags is confident and
stylish with a strong fashion conscience, they are however unwilling to
sacrifice their need for practicality.
- Your brand was started in 2006. Maybe you can name
how the fashion consumers have changed since then?
- Fashion is of
course always evolving and we are constantly striving to design at the cutting
edge for our customer. However there are certain key ideals that never change:
the desire for functional, quality items. When people invest in a bag they want
it to last, this is even truer now than it was 6 years ago and this is how our
brand has stayed relevant.
- Biggest achievement in career and life?
- As designers
and businessmen we are always looking forward and trying to outdo ourselves,
trying to better any of our biggest achievements but we are obviously very
proud of what we have created with the Chris & Tibor brand. Also our
collaborations with Walter Van
Beirendonck, Romain Kremer, Juun J, and Veronique Branquiho are some of proudest achievements.
Collaboration with Walter Van Beirendonck
- You had great worldwide collaborations with others creative.
Have you gain any new skills while collaborating? Do you still need to march
and fight to get the attention?
- Working with
other designers is always an amazing learning experience. Everything we make is
a product of our experiences. When we are collaborating it is important to
strike a balance between everyone’s ideas, you risk sacrificing the concept if
you do not remember this.
- Plans, dreams, hopes for the near future?
- The new Golden Lanes women’s collection
launches in Paris
this September and we’re very excited about that.
