Rory William Docherty

British-born artist and designer Rory William Docherty, based in New Zealand, creates seasonless fashion pieces using his hand-drawn and painted artworks as textiles. His creations blend original silk prints, Italian wool, cashmere, deadstock fabrics, Japanese suiting, Egyptian cotton, vintage textiles, and more.

Docherty's process involves turning drawings into fluid, sculptural garments with an air of familiarity and aspiration. His pieces are glamorous, contemplative, and playful, designed to evoke an emotional connection. They were exclusively picked up by New Zealand retailer Scotties, known for stocking high-end brands like Comme des Garcons, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, and others.
