INITIAL WOMEN | The Cold-Dyed Lace Series: The Romance of Craftsmanship
INITIAL’s latest Ethnic Mystery Series, inspired by the theme "The Myth of Origin," is more than just fashion—it’s an intimate journey that stirs the soul, rekindles distant memories, and brings a sense of tranquility through thoughtfully designed pieces.
The Ethnic Series: A Fusion of Retro Charm and Natural Elegance
This collection seamlessly blends the refined femininity of Japanese petite bourgeoisie style with the bold, free-spirited energy of Bohemian fashion. It is a versatile wardrobe that perfectly captures the essence of early summer. From effortlessly chic fitted T-shirts and powder-waxed knit tops to intricately embroidered Bohemian blouses and textured V-neck vests, each design is infused with a sense of nostalgia and artisanal craftsmanship. Thoughtfully curated fabrics—including mercerized cotton, coarse yarn, straw yarn, and cotton-wool blends—offer breathable, moisture-wicking comfort, allowing you to embrace the season while staying fresh and effortlessly stylish.
The Cold-Dyed Lace Series: The Romance of Craftsmanship
For those who appreciate delicate craftsmanship, the Cold-Dyed Lace Series offers a poetic expression of vintage elegance. Crafted from pure cotton lace, these pieces undergo a meticulous cold-dyeing and snowflake-washing process, creating a beautifully weathered, one-of-a-kind aged effect. This intricate technique results in an irregular, soft vintage wash that is both rare and exquisite. Lace-trimmed hems and cuffs add a touch of timeless femininity, while hand-stitched, irregularly shaped black and white pearls elevate the designs with understated luxury. The attention to detail in this collection speaks to the DNA of INITIAL’s signature 001 series, where tradition and modern artistry intertwine.
With its Summer 2025 Ethnic Mystery Series, INITIAL reimagines nostalgia through a romantic lens, offering a collection that celebrates vintage-inspired craftsmanship and the effortless beauty of early summer.
