Plain Tiger Spotlight: Leap Concept
Leap Concept is a luxury brand in every sense of the word. Cashmere is its hero textile, and as the ‘soft gold’ of the fabric world, you won’t find anything more sumptuous. In the range you’ll find everything you need in a capsule wardrobe. But going ‘back to basics’ has never looked this luxurious.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Inlight Beauty
Inlight Beauty is a brand for people who love themselves. As the Doctor explains: “for our customers, results are key and quality is a non-negotiable; but most importantly we serve the needs of people who believe that good beauty shouldn’t cost the earth – figuratively, literally or any dimension in between.”
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Diana d’Orville
The Diana d’Orville range is a collection of pièces de résistance. Audrey’s design flair lends itself to all tastes, from women in their 20s to women over 70. And maybe that quality is the essence of what high fashion is, and what it represents.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Siin Ain Home
Instead of the ornate, primary coloured, intricately detailed aesthetic that Portuguese ceramic art has become known for, you’ll find that this range of tableware is minimalist, sleek and unassuming.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: The Handloom
Plain Tiger Spotlight: The Handloom A Return: To Turkish Tradition and What Matters Most By Renee Fortune Presenting The Handloom. For people who have not yet experienced the majestic beauty and intrigue of Turkiye (as it was recently renamed), this...
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Scientia
There’s something sacred about self care. And Scientia is the first step on a journey of self love – a return to appreciating your body, which works so hard to keep you going every day.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Studio RIGU
“Eccentric minimalism” is how Riya describes the RIGU aesthetic. It’s a clothing line for women who want to pare down the quantity but ramp up the quality. It’s a way of thinking about fashion as a celebration of self and what it means to stand out, walk tall and represent your brand of individuality.
Conscious Festival 2022 Wrap-Up
Plain Tiger is a proud community partner of The Conscious Festival, which returned for the ninth year, this time in hybrid form. In attendance was our Managing Director, Louis Orlianges, who gave us his wrap-up of the event.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Studio Stirling
In Studio Stirling’s hanging chairs, every fold in the fabric, every curve in the steel, every rope and fixture and structural component marks a return to the most fundamental design principles: aesthetic, comfort and emotion.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: The Idō Movement
The Idō Movement is a brand ‘for the movers’. And of course that relates to the fact that its clothing lines are designed to support motion. But it’s also a brand for ‘movers’ who, through their shopping and lifestyle decisions, are shaping the next step for the fashion industry.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Briiv
Briiv bottles the aesthetic of the natural environment while also harnessing its unmatched ability to produce the very substance that keeps our hearts pumping. You could think of it as the futuristic version of the beloved household plant.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Muulin
Muulin is undeniably Scandi in its design approach. Its designs are urbane and sophisticated, erring forever on the side of simplicity with not a hint of pretense or extravagance. It’s clothing that’s designed for the long haul – inspired by the perfection of today but in anticipation of an eternity of tomorrows.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Ixora
IXORA has taken off in the Middle East and has been featured in several leading media titles. Its rise in popularity is indicative of the fact that ‘organic,’ is no longer a trend, but a lifestyle choice that’s here to stay. And in this arena, IXORA thrives.
The 5 hottest trends in sustainable fashion
Consider for a moment how many people were talking the language of eco-friendly fashion just a few years ago, compared to how ubiquitous the movement has become in several parts of the world. These are the trends that have dominated the industry in 2022.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Stain
We love that “stain” cannot be removed from the concept of sustainability. Whether this play on words was something intentional or whether it just happened by chance, it’s the perfect way to represent the fact that Stain was (and still is) a product of the sustainable fashion movement.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Thalie Paris
‘Sublimated circularity’ is the term that is used to convey the brand’s manifesto. Thalie Paris is on a mission to elevate sustainable fashion, to draw out the luxury that lies in conscious living and to demonstrate that sustainability is not a ‘constraint to creativity’, but a catalyst of it.
Blockchain technology and the future of fashion
With the global call for industries like fashion to become more accountable to consumers, blockchain couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Sustainable fashion brands now have the opportunity to back up their narratives with a legitimate data trail that anyone can access, at any time, from anywhere.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Advait
Advait was launched in 2022 by Advaitha Ravishankar as a brand that would exist at the intersection of fine art and fashion. And when you browse the collection, you’ll realise that there is simply no better way to describe the trademark Advait aesthetic.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Float
Float was started by two childhood friends, Keegan Foreman and Matteo Viotti who wanted to build a brand that connected the worlds of fashion, art, design, photography, music and videography. It’s a brand that ‘floats between worlds’ – hence the name.
Plain Tiger Spotlight: Shekudo
Shekudo is a brand for people who have tapped into life’s potential and tuned into themselves. It’s about fashion and aesthetic but it’s also about an outward expression of soul – the African soul.
