Guillotine is a pioneering design house established in 2007 by Lisa Jaffe. Here craft and practise meet intuition and celebrate contemporary bodies. 

Modern minimalist lines and meticulous tailoring shape a softly sculptural aesthetic which is grounded in sustainable and ethical practices. 

We often collaborate with diverse creatives to transform fashion into unique forms of self-expression. From our flagship store to prestigious showcases - Guillotine redefines fashion as a platform for artistic dialogue.
