The Retro Italian Renaissance

Figura’s latest campaign, DNA, has the outfit for you!

Inspired by '70s and '80s mediterranean sportswear and the rebellious nature of European resistance movements, the new line is tacky in the defiant and nostalgic way that has taken the fashion scene captive.

Launched in 2017 by Jack Murray, Figura is a London based brand that focuses on finding the right fabrics to give old vibes new meaning. Figura, which translates to figure, seems to be a appropriate name for the brand, whose pieces are comprised of simple shapes with bright and energetic colors – giving the whole line a sense of functional mobility that is reflected in the lookbook. With some of the pieces featuring artwork lifted directly from studio Figura paintings, the campaign is more than just a lookbook. Shots of architecture are positioned next to a boy lounging on a velvet couch.

The video that accompanies the lookbook, where mysterious boys zoom around on bikes to hardcore techno, is just as weird (but in the best way possible.) The result is an unmistakable understanding of the world of Figura outside the carefully chosen fabric of the pieces. It is off-beat and rough and tumble, kooky and vibrant. A mix of all the things we want in casual sportswear and no doubt perfect for summer 2018.

Escaping the Glass Cage

November 19, 2024

For years, she stood still, watching life rush past her, a quiet observer behind the glass. Now, the glass is broken, and she steps out into the unknown. She walks through the city, caught between two worlds—part of it, yet apart from it.

Her journey is quiet but bold, searching for something she’s never understood, something just out of reach. On church steps and under glowing city lights, she questions everything: the rules, the past, and where she truly belongs. Each step feels both freeing and uncertain.

A curious soul in a borrowed life, she keeps moving forward, leaving behind only whispers of her escape, like a fleeting shadow in the night.

Total Recall

Born in the Moroccan town of Tétouan and educated in Paris, Khattabi’s upbringing required him to make sense of how the different influences surrounding him could align. In turn, his designs explore the embedded codes and history of his bicultural background. Total Recall addresses this phenomon by including garments meant to reflect adaptation and transformation. Skirts made of tire covers and motorcyle tarpaulins refashioned into dresses are scattered across the collection, conveying notions of displacement. Blending these elements adds an industrial touch to the pieces while still keeping a sense of movement.

From sweatpants infused with polka dots to nostaglic slogans and banner display, the ensembles symbolize hidden identities and memories. Giving us a glimpse into his own memories, Khattabi's work evokes affection for the past. It's a nod to the interconnectedness of culture and how we interact with its complexitites creatively. View the collection below.
