A circle out of the mainstream

Why do we choose words?

With words, we try to foster a culture for a circle out of the mainstream. Our style will not reach the masses, but it’s not for them. They prefer just pictures.

In our posts, we touch on several topics we like to discuss with our community, not necessarily related to fashion, hoping to leave a thought-provoking perspective. Also, we offer descriptions of the design, the quality, materials and colours of the garments we select. Those detailed notes represent a way to celebrate the brands’ creativity and the uniqueness of those pieces, things you don’t find everywhere.

Though we try to give detailed descriptions, one thing is difficult to provide via the web: the touch of the fabrics, as the feel on your skin. Which, for us, has become a real fixation. Indeed, those who had the chance to buy our selections over time are familiar with our obsession with materials. So, when we say “it feels good on your skin”, they know what it means.
But, in the case of those in touch with us, it’s a matter of trust, which we build on actual conversations and needs time to grow.

For people who happen to read our blog posts or maybe find us on Instagram, that place where everything is possible, perhaps it’s not easy to perceive the quality. Impossible to feel the hand of the fabrics.

However, searching for specific standards for clothing and lifestyle choices means coming from a certain mindset. You don’t take everything, but you are selective. And you are part of that tiny niche that doesn’t want to be the photocopy of others.

And so, this is for you. Suite123 Milano is not a place for ordinary choices. The world is full of that! You don’t need our expertise and research to get mass products.

Through words, we want to promote an alternative culture, a circle out of the mainstream. And we research meaningful garments as a way to express it.

The Bicolour One-Piece

Elegance on the beach

Today we introduce The Bicolour One-Piece by Cinzia Cortesi Couture.

Cinzia Cortesi is a new Italian beachwear brand we added this season. Well, it took a lot of time to find it. Indeed, we have seen so many brands, but we weren’t satisfied. For the quality or the design and, in many cases, for the image of the woman they propose.

Unfortunately, one image dominates the scene: fake lips, fake boobs, and too much of everything. Also frequently advertised by starlette or the new Insta celebrities. That depiction, to us, means nothing.
And if you have another idea of a woman and don’t feel represented by that image, finding something different isn’t an easy task.

And so, we searched until we saw Cinzia Cortesi Couture. Et voilà, her essential and refined style caught our attention!

Let’s see The Bicolour One-Piece in detail

About the design:
This item is a one-piece swimsuit with thin shoulder straps, a criss-cross front band and a self-knot at the back. Also, to provide that couture touch, the material is doubled. Thanks to the perfection of the pattern, the fit is excellent. Therefore, the silhouette is flattering and very elegant.

About the material:
The material is lycra sensitive, which is the top quality lycra. Specifically, it’s a high-quality fabric that will not wear out over time. The hand of the material is dense and looks like a crepe, but even if it’s solid, it has good drying properties.

About the colour:
Bicolour: black base with a beige criss-cross front band. An absolutely chic combination.

Styling tips
Wear it as a top with your favourite jeans or a black maxi skirt for your summer nights.

The Bicolour One-Piece is the swimsuit that lets you stand out in elegance!

Consume less!

How to reduce our impact on the planet

In order to reduce our impact on the planet, the solution proposed is to purchase sustainable products. So the industries believe, or so they want to make us believe.

But the truth is different. If we don’t start from the assumption that consuming less is at the base of a sustainable lifestyle, we will not make any progress.

Indeed, there’s no sustainable product, recycled or upcycled, green or bio. Or add whatever label marketing will launch to convince consumers that those products are better than others. Not one of these products or all of these labels together will come to our aid.

Even if they really are better, sustainable products will not change anything. Why? They will not solve the issue simply because that is not enough.

Our lifestyle has an impact on the environment, and in order to sustain it, we are exploiting the planet.
Given that, will our impact on the planet be reduced if people consume tons of sustainable goods? It seems very unlikely.

Consume less: this is how to reduce our impact on the planet

A sharp reduction in consumption is the way to bring about systemic change. If we want to reduce our daily devastation, only one thing will be beneficial: consume less.

Of course, this is about all aspects of our lifestyle. So, reducing the energy and water we use, oil consumption, heating systems, planes, cars, etc. Then, of course, we will need the rest. Meaning sustainable, recycled, upcycled, green or bio.

This also means that we have the power in our hands. Indeed, consuming less requires action on our part.

No brands will ever tell us so, even if this is the only possibility that makes sense. They will continue making sustainable products, filling the world with new sustainable garbage while depleting natural resources!

Sustainability for a dead planet is meaningless!

Bukowski: when words are powerful

Capturing the essence of style

The essence of style is not easy to describe and to capture in sentences. But there is someone who brilliantly found the perfect words to frame it.

Thanks to Mary Portas, we have discovered the following piece by Charles Bukowski, which, she says, sums up her feelings on Style.
We found it fantastic! And so, we decided to share it here because Bukowski’s sharp words are really perfect.

“Style is the answer to everything,
A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous day,
To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it.
To do a dangerous thing with style, is what I call art.

Bullfighting can be an art.
Boxing can be an art.
Loving can be an art.
Opening a can of sardines can be an art.

Not many have style
Not many can keep style
I have seen dogs with more style than men,
Although not many dogs have style.
Cats have it with abundance.

When Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun, that was style.
For sometimes people give you style.
Joan of Arc had style.
John the Baptist,
Jesus,
Socrates,
Caesar,
García Lorca.

I have met men in jail with style.
I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail.
Style is a difference, a way of doing, a way of being done.
Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water, or you, walking
out of the bathroom without seeing me.”

Yes, Bukowski definitely captured the essence of style in such a brilliant way.
And we really adore this piece!

Not only has he left us a great word of art, but this also reminds us of the importance of words in a world full of fake images.

The New Yooryuu Top

Today we introduce The New Yooryuu Top – by Plantation1982.

Among the Yooryuu series of timeless carry-over pieces designed by Plantation, a new model was launched this season.
Yangyanagi is a woven fabric in which threads are twisted to create a grainy striped surface. Indeed, the unevenness of the texture prevents the material from adhering to the skin and has excellent breathability, sweat absorption, and quick-drying properties. Those characteristics make this garment perfect for the summer season.

Discover The New Yooryuu Top

About the design
Boxy sleeveless top with an asymmetric cut volcano neck that you can also fold up, so you can wear it in two different ways.

About the material
100% organic Japanese cotton. Using the grain in a horizontal striped shape instead of vertical, and giving the fabric an appropriate tension, creates a rhythmic movement like a spring, typical of the Yooryuu cotton series. Which is comfortable and fun to wear.

The material is easy to remove from the skin, thanks to its unique texture. Also, it has a silky feel, excellent water absorption and quick-drying properties. These are lightweight and resistant pieces that you can wear many times.

About the colour
Light yellow: a delicate accent of colour in your wardrobe which is also easy to match.

Laundry
Wash by hand, easy care.

Styling tips
Even though these organic cotton pieces are perfect for the hot weather, in fact, when you sweat, they do not stick to your skin, you can wear them throughout the year. Indeed they work well for your layered style as basics under wool garments.

Comfortable as loungewear, you can spend time at home and work remotely in style, but it’s perfect when you go out.
The New Yooryuu Top is the high summer piece you cannot miss!
