ENDYMA, London - Archival designer fashion - SPONSORED THREAD

[endyma]

 

Hello SuFu,

 

I am excited to introduce ENDYMA, a new online boutique and consignment dedicated to archival and gently used garments by visionary designers such as Helmut Lang (1986-2005), Raf Simons, Christopher Bailey (Burberry Prorsum), Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens and more.

 

A few words about what we do:

 

ENDYMA is a London-based interdisciplinary project that bridges the gap between fashion history and e-commerce. Devoted to fashion of the highest sophistication and quality, ENDYMA offers a platform where inspiring clothes can be understood, appreciated and exchanged. Every beautiful garment has an interesting story to tell, and it is our pleasure to offer this information to you. 

 

We reach out to fashion cognoscenti and discerning collectors that recognize that the value of good design is not dictated by time. Besides offering an in-depth shopping experience, we hope that you will find ENDYMA to be more than just another online boutique. Through our carefully curated inventory, we aspire to create a space where one can discover the things that make certain garments timeless works of art.

 

Finding the perfect cut is of paramount importance and we are happy to assist you in finding pieces that will fit you well. Furthermore, we can work with you on consignment to ensure that your unused clothes receive the best treatment possible. For any inquiries please don't hesitate to send us a message. Alternatively you can email us at [email protected].

 

Thank you for your interest.

More than double yer' money, nice work if you can get it.

Hello, 

 

The auctioned bracelet you have linked to is not the same as the ones we are currently selling on consignment. A close inspection of the eBay page shows that the studs on the receiving end of the closure are oxidized (photo 2), while there is tarnishing on the interior (photo 4). Our offerings are either new or gently used with no signs of wear. 

 

Best,

Michael / ENDYMA

interesting concept, it's nice to see a site along the lines of re-porter but for designers outside the "Darkstyle/gothninja" spectrum. Best of luck either way.

 

Also you've got some fantastic Lang pieces up right now, makes me wish I wasn't broke.

Thank you for the kind words.

This vintage denim jacket by Helmut Lang is from the designer's first 'Helmut Lang Jeans' capsule collection for A/W 1996-1997. The back is decorated with the season's signature rubber stripes.

 

 

Interestingly, a similar version was worn by Raf Simons last year. 

 

 

Raf Simons was wearing Helmut Lang at Christian Dior just now.

 

Can I get any more designer names in one sentence?

How much for the Ann Demeulemeester feather ?

[endyma]

Please check out our website for pricing info. 

[endyma]

This jacket by Vexed Generation is constructed from high tenacity ballistic nylon, while the interior is coated with Outlast, a phase-change material that keeps the wearer's temperature at a constant 37°C. The sharp design has a high funnel neck that covers the face while the sleeves have intricate pleats designed to optimise movement while riding. Although it was designed in 1998, its razor-sharp cut, visionary aesthetic and inherent social commentary remain entirely relevant.

Denim garments

 

Denim pieces were undoubtedly at the forefront of Helmut Lang's work, and his experiments with the iconic material are largely seen as catalytic for the transformation of jeans to coveted runway pieces in the late 1990s. Timelessly styled and flawlessly executed, Helmut Lang jeans demonstrate Lang's casual work at its best. 

 

We are very excited to currently offer a variety of Helmut Lang denim jackets and jeans in new or excellent used condition. Materials include sculptural raw denim, soft raw silk denim and broken-in vintage denim. Rubber finishes and iconic hardware give a subtly subversive edge to the streamlined designs.

Raf Simons S/S 2006 Laser-Cut Overlaid Knit Sleeveless Top

 

 

 

The visual cultures of the Punk and Rave movements have often been at the forefront of Raf Simons collections. In this piece, these inspirations are ingeniously refined and recontextualised. First, the sleeveless cut with a narrow neckline evokes the tops worn by the club-going Belgian teenagers Simons casted as models in his early runways. This shape has now become one of the designer’s signature silhouettes. Likewise, unfinished fabrics and frayed knitwear can be reminiscent of Punk’s DIY-inspired roughness; such elements were straightforwardly appropriated in Simons’s ‘Radioactivity’ and ‘Riot Riot Riot’ collections. In this instance, however, the rebellious associations of frayed fabrics are abstracted to form a cobweb-esque laser cut pattern. Get it here.

New HELMUT LANG additions at ENDYMA

 

Helmut Lang's streetwear from the mid-1990's is a strong testament to the timeless appeal of his work. Bold colour-block accents, abbreviated details and innovative materials create an effortless, elegant and enduringly relevant style. In our view, it is pieces like these that truly capture the ways Lang's 'minimalism' changed contemporary fashion.

The sporty elegance of Burberry Prorsum’s S/S 2008 collection was complemented by hard-edged luxury in the form of striking metal embellishments and regimental detailing. This statement bracelet is one of the most sought after accessories in Burberry’s history, and sold out instantly when it became available in the brand’s online store. Available at ENDYMA

This evening jacket from Raf Simons's A/W 2008 collection is a beautiful example of the razor-sharp tailoring that led to Cathy Horyn describing Simons as 'probably the most influential men's-wear designer of the last decade'. The precise modernist lines of the piece are given substance by an expertly canvassed construction and a unique metallic tweed fabric. Available at ENDYMA

Crafted from coated silk canvas, this raincoat represents Helmut Lang's precise tailoring at its most enticing. A polished calf leather complements the luxurious fabric, while the intricate semi-raglan shoulder construction lends a cerebral elegance to the minimalist design. Available at ENDYMA

This exceptionally rare shirt by Ann Demeulemeester is from S/S 1997, the designer's third collection for men. Its clean lines are disrupted by an asymmetrical layered panel on the right shoulder; when the piece is worn, the disconnected sides of the panel move for a subtly dishevelled effect that is quintessential Demeulemeester. Available here

 

[Caveat]

I'm visiting London in two weeks. Is there a way I can try on a couple of pieces?
