There’s no way I can continue to go through my favourite European brands without putting the spotlight on a Parisian brand that takes contemporary, structural menswear to another level. This brand completely lives up to its name by providing pieces that are unique in design.
Pièces Uniques take traditional clothing and rework them into bold statement pieces. Their ability to overlay materials to provide additional structure is executed to perfection. For example, their Day White Tape short sleeved shirt is belted across the shirt which adds another dimension to the garment to make it a statement piece. Even their fisherman jackets deviate from the norm by offering clear pockets, a sherpa patch, and its ‘La Clé’ zip detailing!
Pièces Uniques certainly understand how to manipulate geometry to accentuate a design, as this is evident throughout their Spring/Summer 18 collection from jackets to shorts.
Their Dawn Pink half cut suit jacket is one of the best sartorial pieces I’ve seen in a while, and only now are we starting to see elements of it mimicked on runways. Pièces Uniques certainly has the creative depth and a strong body of work to present a collection at Paris Fashion Week. Till then, I will continue to revel in the fact that there is a brand offering pieces to give me a style like no other.
