Materials & Construction

Some details are noticed before others: the way a jacket settles on the shoulder, the weight of a trouser, the soft hand of knitwear. They begin with the material.

Elio Evan chooses fabrics, leathers and finishes for the way they behave as well as how they look. Cut and construction then give each material its place: enough structure to hold a line, enough freedom to move naturally.

Selected Italian and Japanese textiles are part of this work, alongside materials from other sources chosen for a particular purpose. The exact composition, construction and country of origin belong to each product and are stated where they can be verified.

A good detail should be felt in use, not merely described.
