The End of Trend-Based Items

From trend-driven to timeless: how contemporary fashion has evolved


Although fashion brands stubbornly introduce transient concepts to maximise their turnover, the end of trend-based items seems quite clear. Lately, the idea of seasonal trends has lost meaning. That is in favour of a clean and timeless style that favours classics with a modern twist, clothes you’ll never get tired of.

Trend-based fashion, status quo and the pandemic


Trendy-driven items reflect the status quo–fashion with a close expiry date, without distinction between luxury and fast fashion. But since the pandemic, our lifestyles have changed, and so have the clothes we want to wear. The climate crisis has also played a key role, influencing consumer behavior and shaping the way we approach style.

Cleaning out our wardrobes of the pieces we no longer wear is the first step. And that, by the way, doesn’t absolutely mean discarding them. In fact, as a consequence of this evolved behaviour, we don’t throw away clothing. We do not throw away anything. We either donate or re-sell, depending on the item.

The reason for this wardrobe cleanout is simple: we realised we don’t need more garments. Less but better is what we need. And also, we need clothes that make us feel good.

The end of trend-drive fashion & new style: timeless, seasonless, comfortable


The new style is about assembling a capsule wardrobe of beautifully designed garments. Special pieces that give a sense of elegance but make you feel comfortable at the same time. Even important clothes that we love to mix nonchalantly.

Therefore, the focus is on the cut and fabrics that provide an elevated touch. Relaxed tailoring assembled in modern separates is the heart of this evolved style. Blazers, trousers and knits do not constrain the body but allow movement. Also, we want to feel the comfort on our skin. So, wearing our favourite clothes becomes a pleasant experience.

In this context, we see the end of trend-based items. Indeed, we filter fashion proposals in search of good design – seasonless and timeless clothing. An evolved and subtle elegance. A clean style that embodies a contemporary understatement that impresses for its beauty but refuses any showiness.

Discover The Furry Cardigan


About the material
Nylon is the core yarn, and cotton brushed bouclé (a knitted fabric with a yarn loop on the surface) is wrapped around, covering the nylon. The soft and fluffy texture feels great on your skin, and we recommend it for those who have problems with the tingling sensation of wool. Also, this cotton knit cardigan can be easily cared for, and you can wear it every day. It is a seasonless piece, and even though it contains cotton, you can use it during the winter season. That is because the fuzzy finishing makes it warm.

About the design
The shawl-collar three-button cardigan gently wraps around the back of the neck.
It is a whole garment and so, a non-sewn knit. It means that there are no shoulders or side seams. Therefore, thanks to this knitting technique, the garment has no tension, and it is very comfortable to wear. Also, a small percentage (5%) of polyurethane added to the yarn prevents it from losing its shape and provides a fit.

About the colour
The mood recalls the warmth of a cocoon. Light brown with an intense yellow tinge, it is a colour that makes you feel all the warmth of the knit.

Easy-care material. Machine washable.
This item can be hand-washed at home. We suggest laying it flat to dry.

The collar has a beautiful V-line, so you can enjoy coordination by layering high-necked inners and looking into colours and patterns. Extremely versatile, The Furry Cardigan is suitable for wearing in different combinations.

Good design, quality, timeless, seasonless, easy-care. Style made to last.
Buy less, buy better!

Less Stuff, More Meaning

An evolved essence of style: beyond trends, toward identity and purpose


Passing through the storm of the pandemic, we had the feeling that many brands had lost their grip, their meaning while a few others were able to sustain consistent work, somehow surviving the impact. Not because their message was new, but because, perhaps thirty years ago, they dared to propose a different viewpoint. By the way, that is the power of innovation, not everyone grasps the message immediately. It takes a time, sometimes even decades.

So many garments now feel like they belong to an old world, no longer appropriate. Some others, however, have carried forward their codes, values, as they are still modern, versatile and never out-of-place. They are effortlessly timeless.

In order to adapt to a new environment and to find a meaningful way to pursue our passion for design and fashion, we have to pay attention to select the right pieces—curating with intention, while clearing away the excess.

The new aesthetic develops around deeper concepts: timeless and comfortable silhouettes, soft textures, materials you love to feel on your skin. Fewer pieces, higher quality is what identifies a modern wardrobe.

Less stuff, more meaning is the evolved ethos #formodernhumans
