Y's

Centered on functional and dignified everyday wear, Y's lies in a category of its own, fusing orthodox design principles with idiosyncratic pattern making. Particular attention is paid to cut and silhouette, texture, and the amount of empty space between the body and the garment. Y's is a brand that more subtly hints at Yohji Yamamoto's core identity with practical and high-quality prêt-à-porter pieces.

The values of the Avant Toi universe are expressed through the constant exploration of the unknown and the unexpected, perpetually distancing itself from the conventional rules of knitwear manufacturing in order to endow each piece with a sophisticated, one of a kind aspect and an avant-garde spirit. Breaking the rules of stylistic and aesthetic standards is at the core of Avant Toi's philosophy: creating a bridge between the classical concept of refinement and the charm of what is old and worn: in complete opposition to the customary conventions of the cashmere world.

Avant Toi captures the true beauty of cashmere and fine Italian knitwear, by masterfully transforming each piece into a work of art. In this unique reality, men's and women's lines interweave into a new dimension, exclusively defined by the wearer. Destroyed, blended and spray-painted are only a few of the continuously evolving treatments applied to each garment. Quality and stability are guaranteed by Liapull's 60 years of experience and the skillful artisans who have dedicated a lifetime to these yarns.

Berlin, 1991. Inspired to translate a new vision of transparency into avant-garde shoes, Angela Spieth and Michael Oehler founded Trippen. Embodying the spirit of their reunited city, the designers forged a distinct style through an interplay of restraint and creativity. Rubber sole moulds were reduced to a few styles chosen for optimal comfort while leather uppers offered limitless possibilities for creative expression. The signature design language that has since earned Trippen its international cult status emerged from this framework, to which the label remains true today—playfully referencing fashion’s shifts while transcending them with a timeless aesthetic. Each new style adds a point of distinction to the brand’s living archive, which contains over 1600 models available for re-order. In honour of its customers’ creativity, Trippen’s bespoke ‘Made for You’ service invites individuals to personalize their pair by selecting both leather style and sole color.

Reinterpreted textiles, lightened, deconstructed, pattern and volumes reinvented on noble fabrics such as linen, silk and cashmere…intimate accessories characterized by a comfortable sensuality. This is the creative genealogy by Monica Sarti, heir to research assets, creativity, tastes which made Italian fashion great. The textile company that her grandfather, Faliero Sarti, set up in the post-war period became the major fashion houses’ partner.​

“It was 1998 when I came back from New York after spending my formative years where I had an amazing experience in which I received lots of incentives. I had so many ideas but I knew nothing of textile production and it took me years to understand the functioning of looms. Also there existed an accessories ward in which no one had any interest, so I decided to focus on it. I had the idea of using noble fibers and deconstructing them, making the fabric look less perfect and more worn. I wanted a comfortable item of clothing, as I thought that this was the direction fashion had been going in. I started selling accessories in 2000.”

MONICA SARTI​

Pas-de-Calais, Northern France

On a clear day looking over the Channel, the white cliffs of Dover come into view.
The famous "Dentelle de Calais" is renowned as one of the most beautiful laces in the world.
Inspired by the rich heritage of this region,
its fine delicate lace, the outdoor lifestyle, set in a stunning landscape,
this state of mind and way of life are the sources behind the pas de calais label.

An essence of purity and nostalgia added to modern casual design, the pas de calais spirit is a romantic contemporary universe.
Combining a variety of traditional dyeing and advanced techniques used with cotton, linen and silk, pas de calais develops its own original textiles.
Natural materials are harmoniously composed into a comfortable wearable collection.
The color tones, like the surrounding landscape, are based on soft naturally subdued shades of ecru, sand, khaki green, chalk white, dove gray and coal black.

pas de calais proposes a subtle mixture of casual silhouettes in wholesome fabrics highlighted by touches of decadence that give a freedom of personal styling that crosses all frontiers.

The name peter o. mahler stands for minimalism and purism. A fashion in which unusual cuts and high-quality materials form an extravagant symbiosis. Each piece in the collection allows for personal freedom of combination for those who don't want to blend in with the uniform mass.

We make works inspired by our travels around the world and the impressions left on us by all of the people, things and ideas that we encounter along the way. We launched AODRESS in 2009 after producing uniquely individual pieces of work using cloth and old clothes collected from around the world. When we traveled to India in 2012, we met traditional artisan embroidery craftsmen and saw beautiful fabrics created by hand weaving. Seeing the beauty of the products we realized the reality of lost manual work. While spending time with them, we produced dress lines that combine tradition and our sensibility.
Currently we sell works in Europe, America, Australia, the Middle East and Asia.

HANDCRAFTMANSHIP:
Indian textile products have been actively exported mainly to Europe since the 17th and 18th centuries, and, in particular, Indian cotton has gained popularity.Even now, there are a lot of very delicate Indian fabrics, old clothes and beautiful dresses that can be seen in antique shops. There are a lot of simulated products from that time, but even now, the original Indian fabrics still feel special.The reason is the quality backed by time-honored manual work and traditional techniques, which give comfort and excitement to those who use them.
It is very different from current mass products that are not made with the same love and pride for manufacturing.
