Nitty Gritty and Barena Venezia Look Into the Archives
Resurrecting pieces from previous mens and womenswear collections.
Stockholm-based retailer Nitty Gritty has unveiled a new partnership with Barena Venezia. The collaboration takes inspiration from the Italian label’s archive, with classic Barena silhouettes — which mix traditional workwear aesthetics with looser fits, soft tailoring and luxurious fabrics — have been given subtle twists.
The collection features five pieces — an overcoat, waistcoat, overshirt, shirt and trousers — all of which are based on styles from previous mens and womenswear collections. Across all of the pieces, Barena’s focus on materiality and detail is celebrated.
To launch the collaboration, Nitty Gritty visited the island of Tynningö on Stockholm’s central Archipelago to capture the campaign. The location was chosen to show the overlap between the retailer’s Scandinavian roots, and Barena Venezia’s origins in Venice.
Take a look through the campaign in the gallery above. The full Nitty Gritty x Barena Venezia collection is due to release online and in store on November 12.
