Meet Five Emerging Brands That Just Arrived at HBX for FW24
Featuring everything from sophisticated wares by CLESSTE to 3D-printed footwear from ALIVEFORM.
As the red carpet continues to unravel for Fall/Winter 2024 offerings, HBX has prepared for the occasion by not only presenting deliveries from familiar favorites, but by expanding its reach to invite new brands into the store. EGNARTS, ATTEMPT, CLESSTE, NIVELCRACK and ALIVEFORM are five exciting additions to HBX this season, offering everything from refined workwear to eye-catching slip-ons. Enjoy a brief rundown of each of the new brands alongside a presentation of the entire range of products that can be shopped via HBX today.
EGNARTS
It’s been just over two years since EGNARTS debuted its forward-thinking workwear under a special made-to-order model. The South Korean label made noise with designs like the Hidden Pocket Work Pants — straight-leg trousers that feature an intricate button system to cover a unique pocket structure. By operating in small batches and leveraging its bespoke ordering system, EGNARTS has minimized the waste involved in its operation. For FW24, HBX has simplified the acquisition process by offering a carefully curated range of the label’s goods, which are in stock now. Additional standouts from the delivery include the layering-friendly Square Hoodies with prominent cut-outs at the front and the Adjustable Work Pants and Shorts, both of which sport sturdy cotton builds and reinforced knees.

ATTEMPT
ATTEMPT has been crafting contemporary streetwear for nearly a decade now, and it’s continuing to make waves from China to the rest of the world as it expands its global operations. While leveraging its Eastern roots, the label implements modern craftsmanship and innovative materials to modernize its local aesthetics. Its versatile creations are known for their sharp detailing; this season’s Folding Collar Long Coat, for instance, utilizes zip closures at each side of the garment to offer ample styling options. Looking closer at the brand’s FW24 offerings, the Quilted Down Vest combines function and form with its down construction and slick paneling. Meanwhile, the Pleated Skirt’s wool blend facade features a pleated, wrap-around design, lending itself nicely to the prevalent skirt-over-pants trend.

CLESSTE
Hailing from Japan, CLESSTE is all about timelessness. Discarding the typical season and trend cycles, the label favors permanent collections with androgynous designs limited to one or two size options. This focus on limiting waste keeps sustainability at the forefront of everything CLESSTE creates. However, its versatility-minded approach does not limit its creativity. Take the Future T-Shirt with Drawstrings, for example; the top elevates modern jersey paneling with a build that features a thick collar, contrast stitching and drawstrings at the hem, all the while leveraging premium materials like Supima cotton. The City Game Long Sleeve Shirt similarly subverts expectations by employing a Johnny collar neckline and sporty piping. Additional inclusions in HBX’s debut delivery range from the imprint’s roomy Future Half Pants, the Active City Parkas and Pullover Jacket, all of which balance utility and style.

NIVELCRACK
Today, football and fashion are incredibly synergetic. As the masses continue to embrace everything from retro performance shoes to jersey-inspired tops, Seoul-based brand NIVELCRACK, named after the Spanish term for top-level footballers, is offering its own perspective on goal-scoring apparel. The label’s seasonal collections see stylish jerseys presented alongside casual tees, all tying into football-inspired motifs. HBX’s first offering features the Fenomeno Track Jacket and Pants, a set that pairs sharp branding with reflective piping. The collection’s black, gray and silver palette is great for not only taking the pitch, but also for stepping through the streets with confidence.

ALIVEFORM
In just two years, ALIVEFORM has grown from its humble beginnings in Japan to being a global force in footwear. The label crafts 3D-printed solutions for footwear that reach far beyond the boundaries of what traditional sneakers look like. By operating with a made-to-order model, ALIVEFORM is able to fully commit to minimizing waste. Five versions of the Flaine silhouette have landed at HBX, offering an ideal mix of the brand’s forte. The Flaine Core sees the slip-on in its most basic form, though it still remains eye-catching with its sleek textures. The model’s variants range from the Flaine Flare — elevating the shoe with a fiery sole — to the Flaine Hybrid, which presents additional layering alongside a shimmering nickel gradient finish.
