Workwear Gets Experimental Thanks to Emerging Korean Label EGNARTS
Available at APOC Store now.
London-based conceptual retailer APOC Store is known for being the bridge between the consumer and emerging labels, introducing names such as SCRY™, Adam Jones, Harikrishnan, and now EGNARTS.
Based in Seoul, South Korea, EGNARTS is yet another new brand that has its eyes set on taking over the small-batch fashion scene. Everything is made-to-order, meaning there is little-to-no waste in the production stage, thus making it sustainable. Additionally, its aesthetic is timeless as it plays on traditional workwear cues, meaning there will be no need to buy the garments based on trends, once again playing into a full lifecycle approach to fashion.
The workwear tropes inform signature pieces such as EGNARTS’ Hidden Pocket pants, which come in “Charcoal” and feature button-down flaps that open up on the leg to reveal a multitude of handy pockets. Other pant styles are adjustable and come in muted shades of “Khaki,” “Orange” and “Charcoal,” while a reinterpretation of the traditional blazer — dubbed the “Wave Line Blazer” — subverts conventions thanks to the curve that divides the garment pattern into multiple panels, creating an anthropomorphic design.
EGNARTS also offers shirts with vest detailing and caps that move towards the realm of architecture, transcending its signature workwear look. Everything you see above is available to buy on a made-to-order basis from APOC Store’s website now, while more can be found on the brand’s site.
