VTMNTS is using an architectural approach to construct the garments, mixing sartorial techniques with advanced material science research. Cropped tailoring lies in the foundation of the SS23 collection. The cropped tailored jackets are followed by cropped shirts, cropped pants, cropped knits, cropped hoodies, cropped bombers with exaggerated shoulders, cropped puffer jackets. Cropped everything stands for cropping the bullshit. The cropped collection represents the new minimalism, with the motto: “cut off the unnecessary”. New minimalism - for the new generation.

VTMNTS proprietary “double shoulder” construction creates the ability to extend the garment’s shoulder line on the day you feel more dramatic. Double jackets, double shirts, double pants, double belts, double bomber jackets are inspired by traveling with too much luggage and the necessity to put on an extra layer at the airport not to pay for extra luggage charges. The inspiration for double pieces also lies when you cannot decide which look to wear so you merge them and wear both at the same time.
The clothing becomes a frame to frame a character. It should no longer be about everyone buying the same “it” items and turning into clones wearing them – it’s about finding the pieces that will frame your personality and not distract from it. The items that will put the spotlight on who you are, or who you are aspiring to become. It’s about you and your inner desires. Just let them out!
This collection is an anti-uniform. The whole concept of the uniform is to erase personality – the collection puts the spotlight on the personality. Models who ended up choosing similar outfits looked completely different and so true to themselves on the runway. We used proprietary construction techniques and developed in-house materials to make sure the pieces make you look good no matter your gender, while highlighting your identity and allowing you to choose how to wear it.
VTMNTS stands for gender equality. It`s time for fashion to shy away from focusing only on womenswear and menswear. This is why we introduced a non-binary wear category and why the show reflects the gender diversity with models walking the runway and talents working behind the scenes. True freedom is knowing who you are, and being unapologetic about it.
Gender equality lies in the foundation of the brand and featuring a wide variety of genders in equal manner is of major importance. The mirrored clothing of the final looks stands for the reflection of the reality we live in today and all those times we look in the mirror before we finally realize who we truly are.
