Bridging cultures, uniting voices
Announcing a global conversation #formodernhumans: suite123 goes bilingual!
We launched the suite123 blog in 2021 during a challenging time when we were reimagining our business for the online world. However, we soon realised that posting only in English wasn’t inclusive for many Italians. To truly honour the spirit of Italian culture and connect more deeply with our community, we’re excited to announce a new beginning: a bilingual journey that reflects who we are and who we serve.
A brief history
Since 2006, in Milan’s Porta Romana area, we’ve curated a unique selection of pieces from international designers and independent brands, offering our personal perspective on fashion. Our goal has always been to help you craft a distinctive, individual style that reflects who you are.
After 15 years in our physical store, the pandemic prompted us to reflect on the shifts in our own lifestyles and inspired us to embrace a more sustainable approach to fashion—without compromising on great design and quality. This led us to transition to the online world, where we found new ways to connect with our community.
On 18 May 2021, we launched our blog as a platform to question the fashion industry and explore contemporary culture in the context of climate change. At the time, we chose to write in English to ensure our content was accessible to an international audience. As a small business, focusing on one language also made our operations more manageable.
Our turning point: listening to our community
However, every choice has its drawbacks. We acknowledged that our decision excluded a significant part of our community, as not everyone could access content in English. Feedback from our Italian readers underscored the importance of communicating in our native language—because every voice matters.
So, we decided to adapt our approach. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that every post will be published in both Italian and English, ensuring that everyone feels part of our community. Simply click the flag in the top right of the homepage and choose your preferred language.
suite123 bilingual: what to expect
• Quality and Inclusivity: Our editorial focus—questioning the fashion industry, exploring contemporary culture in the context of climate change, and showcasing niche fashion and meaningful garments—remains unchanged, but with greater attention to linguistic inclusiveness.
• Bridging Cultures: This choice not only makes the blog accessible to a wider audience but also creates a bridge between different cultures.
This transformation is a step towards a more direct and interactive dialogue, one that values diversity and encourages active participation, breaking free from social media’s dictatorship, where algorithms enforce conformity and stifle dissent.
