NILMANCE Fall / Winter 2022
Puts its focus back into its root, diving back into a place where its brand philosophy was born and how their core design value was formed – which is, in a sense, to find the intricate balance between minimizing and maximizing certain areas of aspect from the concept of “performance”.
The collection took huge inspirations from the traditional navy uniform during World War II, an extraordinarily unique feature where the front side and the back side of a piece of garment are the same, the versatile designs provide wearer’s the ability to adapt to different transitions between various environments and situations, meaning the soldiers or wearers are able to reduce time on figuring out the right side to put on their uniforms when threats arise. Thus fulfilling the mission of balancing minimization and maximization.
The idea motivates the brand continuously exploring forms and functions, curates its explorative lineups based on inspiration from real-life scenarios, fusing technical innovative techniques and military elements together, designing items based on wearers’ be
havioral patterns.
