The first ever VTMNTS show took place at Paris Fashion Week in a Monoprix supermarket that has been permanently closed since the pandemic, a symbolic choice for the brand signifying that every ending is followed by a new beginning.  In this new beginning for VTMNTS, the brand seeks to move away from the outdated categories of « womenswear » or « menswear » and to present a collection that represents gender equality. The game changing adaptive technologies used by VTMNTS with their sustainably developed fabrics allow garments to adjust based on body type. Using these technologies along with centuries old sartorial tailoring tricks, the new tailoring with elevated shoulders and signature “frame” piping detail is paired with classic pants with invisible hidden zips, that, when opened, transform the whole silhouette into an iconic athletic wear shape. The western boots are crafted in black, brown, white, caramel, red and silver mirror leathers, matching tailored fabrics and neon lycra, embroidered with signature barcode and updated with a rubber sole with spring technology, typically exclusive to hi-performance sneakers. The coated canvas traditionally used for French luxury bags like LV and Goyard is reimagined as overcoats with barcode monogram. Boiled wool coat and denim are painted with liquid silver, while leather coats and jackets are double- embroidered by hand. The shearling coats are merged with ultra-soft napa leather, outerwear is double-layered and cashmere is treated in tailored overcoats. Discover the exclusive backstage photos for Crash by Elise Toide of the VTMNTS Fall/Winter 2022 collection…
