Regenerate clothing was founded and launched in Feb 2008 by May Cortazzi, who had previously worked for Marharishi, Boxfresh and Maria Chen before deciding to step out on her own and create her own unique label. May says that 'the Regenerate look always remains unique from the mainstream by taking inspirations from: the music industry, historical archives and through traveling the world and undressing it!'In the wake of the new collection launch '1001 nights' I asked May Cortazzi, the creative director,a few questions, to find out what is was all about!
Lorna: May I’m loving the new collection, where do you find your inspiration?May: Our latest collection, 1001 nights is all inspired by journeys, road trips and adventure. The Smashing Pumpkins music video 1979, Punk Dandies and their hippy punk girlfriends, breaking the rules, travelling by VW through a bustling, busy, urban city, filled with excitement, Rushing through the outskirts, finding that special place where the world stops, getting back to nature, through poetry, art, and music.
Lorna: For those eco goddesses that are new to Re-generate, how would you describe the style?
May: Unique, hand illustrated, artwork, incorporating
Art Nouveau styled illustrations with Regenerates irregular dark and edgy handwriting, using our signature Metallic Gold, Bronze and Monotone coloured prints with flashes of electric Neon.
Lorna: The new collection has just launched... What are the best sellers so far?

May: The Key statement prints ‘Music is my Religion’ and ‘Love is my Religion, have both gone down really well. The label started as purely Menswear but the Womenswear has built up a real following now which is great!
All Regenerate clothing is made from ethical fabrics include Tencel, Organic Cotton, and Organic Bamboo. These clothes are all ultra soft, light weight, distressed, burnt out and ethically made; in fact pretty much perfect for any aspiring eco goddess!’
