Veilance was launched in 2009 by the world’s leading outdoors brand Arc'Teryx, with the explicit goal of bringing “the application of technical performance into urban apparel". Borrowing the latest technical innovations from Arc’teryx and recontextualizing them in an urban environment, the brand immediately won a cult following for its language of hardcore minimalist luxury applied to everyday classics such as the trench coats, overshirts and sportswear t-shirts. 

Japanese designer Chitose Abe founded sacai in 1999, after spending years under the guidance of Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe. Abe has become the face of the modern avant-garde Japanism, an hybrid style that breaks down the thin line between casual and formal-wear, creating a constructive design approach genderless and without strict lines. Most famous are the brand’s “spliced” garments that literally fuse together not just two garment styles such as the bomber jacket and blazer, but two entire cultural patrimonies to produce surprisingly wearable pieces of avant garde design.
