Artist and designer Rory William Docherty creates seasonless pieces with textiles drawn from his original artworks.

Under the label of the same name, Rory's garments are romantic and pragmatic. Crafted to last using beautiful fabrics, Rory places equal importance on durability, aesthetic, and comfort. 

Rory’s drawings evolve into paper maquettes; they are enlarged and draped into fluid and sculptural forms, before being refined into garments. The pieces range from exclusive original silk prints, Japanese suiting and outerwear, to fully fashioned knitwear. Carefully crafted and finished in Aotearoa, Rory uses Italian wool and cashmere, deadstock fabrics, Egyptian cotton, and vintage textiles and trims.  

Essential, optimistic, restrained and relevant. Each Rory William Docherty piece is imbued with a sensitivity evoking an emotional connection. 

Rory’s first collection of one-off and made-to-order pieces was picked up exclusively by Scotties, which stocks Comme des Garcons, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, The Row, Lemaire, and more.
