A spotlight on the latest collection of Berlin-based des FILLES désir, founded by Adrian Stoica, a brand that champions innovative women’s wear with unexpected silhouettes and textures as an antidote to fast fashion. Committed to slow fashion, each garment is meticulously crafted on-demand, minimizing waste and supporting Adrian’s hometown of Focșani, Romania. Adrian’s design ethos, rooted in his pattern cutting apprenticeship and conceptual fashion studies, embraces a lyrical approach and a poetic take on design.
