The small collections simple, edgy attitude had strong success and resulted in the label showing at London Fashion Week for six seasons. This has followed by two seasons in New York and three seasons in Shanghai and Amsterdam.
In 2008 the first UNCONDITIONAL flagship store was opened in Convent Garden, London. Two years later the spring/summer 11 collection was brought back to London. A second flagship store opened in 2011 in central Manchester, Stevens’s birthplace.
The label collaborated with Una Burke for their spring/summer 12 collection. Stephens created structured, strong leather accessories that added to the designs strong visual impact.
