Introducing 22/4_hommes

by

22/4 is based upon the idea of redrawing the parameters that define and divide men’s and women’s fashion.
The basic mathematical equation 2+2=4 in an industry where exacting measurements and technical proportions form the foundation indicates 22/4’s high quality demand the brand has.

The label’s discreetly luxurious gender-liberalized style is the principle and base of each collection and always based on reinterpreted traditional masculine tailoring techniques. It is a distillation of the classical men’s wear style that characterize 22/4’s identity.

Superior Italian fabrics meet pioneering construction imbued with a reverence for age-old skills drawn primarily from the world of men’s tailoring. The desire to create clothes and being driven by an attention for details with an eye for craft, quality and modern luxury are the engine of the creative director, Stephanie Hahn.

Ones to watch: InAisce

by

Upcoming fall InAisce Seeking Aether collection will be available at Vertice London. 

The collection pulsates with vitality and refinement that simulate the longing for our immortal roots, yet carefully placed dissonant notes remind us of the displaced state of our species. This is manifested in individual elements of the collection: raw finishing and uneven panel lengths counter-balance the regal collar construction of a triple-ply wool coat; and the elegance of the complex seaming of a Tuscan shearling is contrasted by a sandblasted finish on the surface. 

Similarly, the fabrications befit nobility and vagabond alike. Luxurious silks, wools, and cupros are juxtaposed with large felted wraps that evoke the hide of a wild highlands beast, and a plush nylon-coated knit, while soft within, resembles a worn industrial garbage bag on the surface.
