Niche fashion: Fall-Winter 24-25 style mood inspiration


As we await the arrival of our Fall-Winter 24-25 selection of international independent fashion designers, it’s time to immerse ourselves in the new season’s colour palette and fabrics.

This Fall-Winter 24-25 season, our curated selection celebrates both the richness of traditional craftsmanship and the innovative spirit of modern design. These are pieces meant to be cherished, each one carefully chosen for its exceptional quality and timeless appeal. So, in two words: good design.

Fall-Winter 24-25: colour palette and fabrics


From Meagratia we selected a sophisticated blend of textures and tones. From the deep, inky black of wool to the striking contrast of grey cotton with red embroidery, the pieces exude a quiet strength. Also, the sturdy ivory cotton and pristine white cotton bring balance, offering versatility and a canvas for creative layering.

Miaoran captivated us with its bold use of laser-cut black wool against a delicate light pink base. This unexpected pairing creates a dynamic interplay between light and dark, soft and sharp – a perfect reflection of the season’s transitional nature.

From Ujoh – new in from Japan, we selected a moody and luxurious spectrum with hues like violet and bordeaux cotton. But also, aubergine light wool. These deep, rich tones evoke the quiet elegance of fall, while the ebony cotton provides a grounding element, ensuring each piece is as enduring as it is stylish.

Marc le Bihan elevates the season with colours like “windsor” and “lie de vin” wool viscose, blending heritage with innovation. These materials offer warmth and texture, along with a sense of understated elegance.

Aurōra brings a singular focus with its violet wool, a colour that symbolises both creativity and introspection. This piece stands out as a statement of individuality within the broader collection.

GoodNeighbors Shirts captures the essence of the night sky with a stardust print on dark blue. Also, it offers practicality with grey heavy cotton. These fabrics are designed for durability without sacrificing the subtle artistry that makes each piece unique.

Conclusion


Each piece is carefully selected to effortlessly mix and match with one another, as well as with the garments you already own. We can’t wait to receive the new collections and create unique outfits just for you.

The new season’s colour palette and fabrics we have chosen are more than just a trend. They are a curated expression of style that values uniqueness, quality and longevity. As you explore these new arrivals, remember that each piece is not just a garment, but a meaningful addition to a more thoughtful wardrobe.

Who Supports Independent Labels?

Exploring the current fashion scenario


There’s a poignant question in the fashion industry: who supports independent labels? The current fashion context is volatile, unstable and tough – especially for independent designers who struggle to survive. Just like independent fashion retailers. Therefore, many are making the difficult decision to close their businesses.

The current fashion scenario: mass fashion


On the one hand, there is mass fashion, encompassing both luxury brands and fast fashion. Despite their differences in price and perceived exclusivity, they follow the same model: overproduction, overconsumption, and exploitation of natural resources, labour, and human rights.
What do mass brands do? Business as usual; now cloaked in a veneer of greenwashing. And what do people want from them? Business as usual. Greenwashing allows consumers to feel comfortable with their purchases and lifestyles. We can affirm this because, even though consumers are aware of brands’ unfair practices towards people and the planet, they continue to support them wholeheartedly.

Niche brands and independent labels


On the other hand, there are niche designers, or small independent labels who produce limited quantities, creating a leaner and respectful business. Their prices are much higher than fast fashion for obvious reasons, yet lower than luxury brands. Unfortunately, according to Financial Times Fashion, many independent labels have had to close their doors this year. Although the article focuses on the US situation, it’s no different in Europe.

What happens to them, as well as to the independent retailers who support them? People complain about their prices, showing little understanding or respect for their work. In the end, what do they do? Consumers often choose fast fashion or discounted luxury brands while preaching sustainability and human rights support.

Conclusion


So, who supports independent labels? A very tiny percentage of free thinkers. Perhaps not enough to sustain their businesses. The risk of a polarised fashion industry is very strong. Based on this brief exploration, we must ask: will information and education ever contribute to creating a more diverse fashion scenario?  Or are we doomed to an irresponsible and destructive mass fashion?

Share your thoughts with us. We’d love to hear from you!
