Edition 01 : An Exploration of Line, Texture, Volume and Detail

FFORME introduces its collections by four modernist principles: line, texture, volume, and detail. This is the framework for a multi-dimensional wardrobe; a direction that establishes distinctive, everyday archetypes.


For Edition 01, FFORME explores the interaction of material and movement. Garments are underpinned by anatomical and architectural references; experimentation is subtle yet contributes to an updated rapport between clothing and body.

A deeper study of shoulders and sleeves has determined the foundational FFORME silhouettes. Roundness descends into streamlined shapes held by double-face construction and draping. Volumes are reconsidered by removing fixed points and emphasizing fluidity. Tailoring is relevant to today through precise structures that are rendered with total lightness. Fastenings and pockets are concealed in the service of both functionality and minimalism. From all these efforts emerges a new approach to American sportswear imbued with a European sensibility.


Pieces have been developed through machine and handcraft processes, maintaining consistency while advancing innovation. With a conscious approach to sourcing, the season comprises six essential fabrics including organic gabardine, bi-stretch organic wool, organic cashmere, organic cotton twill, merino knit, and leather. Each, highly versatile and discreetly luxurious in touch and feel – from dense to superfine.

FFORME garments are named to conjure the close relationships we form with what we wear. Laura is a dress in double-knit combed cashmere and silk with square armholes and a draped waist appears at once statuesque and understated. Wei is chimney collar coat in superfine double-face wool with oversized dropped shoulders and extended cap sleeves. Ava is a long skirt in organic wool with a curving waistband and darts that create restrained volume. Faye trousers in organic gabardine have a lowered box pleat and side seams that slightly swerve for an ample, 3D fit. Maya is a T-shirt in cotton knit that drapes and stretches to encircle the body with ease. In smooth, semi-vegetal-dyed calfskin leather, Zoe is a funnel-neck blouson featuring a single seam and oversized sleeves. These, along with all other pieces, are designs that stand out individually yet layer and combine with elegance and ease.

The Edition 01 palette is elemental and focused: deep black, soft stone, a fiery red orange, and a reddish brown. Several fabrics and yarns remain undyed for natural tonality.


Across FFORME designs, every element has a holistic purpose so that the collection is entirely interconnected. Not only are the garments conceived to perform a key role in our lives; they are conceived to endure.
