Sustainability is a word that’s thrown around the fashion industry too easily, but every now and then a brand gets it right. Welcome to 1/OFF, a Parisian label headed up by Renée van Wijngaarden that takes materials from the existing high-end fashion world and reworks or upcycles these vintage fabrics to create a new aesthetic.
The results include everything from repurposed football scarves that have come together on oversized collage football scarves, blazers with buttons on the back as well as the front, and for the purpose of this article, a stellar Spring/Summer 2021 collection. While 1/OFF is already impressive, the SS21 offering elevates its aesthetic with a clearer vision, one that gives the brand a strong identity harnessed by its combination of brands that should never meet (more on that later), Orville Peck-meets-Elvis Presley denim ensembles, and more. Speaking exclusively to HYPEBEAST about the brand and its design process, Wijngaarden said:

Knitwear doesn t necessarily have to signal winter attire cozy season doesn t end when we turn the calendar page over to March. (And with the current conditions all around the world, you might very well need to whip out a cozy jumper a bit later in the year than you would expect.) In 2021, emerging brands and established fashion houses alike are finding ways to allow us to wear cozy knit pieces; think cropped polo sweaters, sleeveless turtlenecks and cozy wrap-around tops.

Emerging footwear designers always get us excited here at HYPEBEAST, with the likes of London’s notwoways being a perfect example of a young brand getting it right. Following in the footsteps of new labels doing things their own way is Eric Payne, the LA-based footwear brand that’s changing the way we think of sneakers.
While the rest of the world is looking for box-fresh pairs to rock on the first day out of the lockdown, Eric Payne is making pairs such as the “Trash” Oxford. Using suede, Japanese plonge leather, and mixed-media collage that gives the shoe its name, the “Trash” sports a perfectly-imperfect aesthetic that’s avant-garde, sustainable, and has that lovely handmade feel that we rarely see in the sneaker industry nowadays.
