Children

The Decorum philosophy, style codes and distinctive look and application applies to a full range of lifestyle products. The “a little Decorum” children’s collection will be just that, a little bit of the Decorum aesthetic. Whether through a pint sized version of a men’s or women’s main collection style or an original children’s design, “a little Decorum” will communicate the Decorum concepts in a fun, clever and playful way. Serious about this business and its potential, an emphasis on a well merchandised, focused and thoughtful assortment will be a priority from the start.  

 

Active 

Intrinsically Decorum is a modern concept where advanced design and real-world utility live hand in hand, forward form and function coexist, and this duality is paramount. Activewear plays an important role in a modern wardrobe and everyday dressing. Not only for the gym, the Decorum active collections will target both the gym and the street with skillfully merchandised assortments aimed at both. Drawing on the Decorum codes and concepts, the active collections will be innovative and directional.    

Bold, striking, graphic, architectural and experimental, collections will communicate and articulate the signature sensibilities of the brand with a focus on structure, composition and the human form. Utility, technique and construction are embraced in creative, interesting and provocative ways. And true to Decorum’s core philosophy the collections will offer new and contemporary ideas of propriety in gym attire and explore new and exciting concepts in fabrics, styling and merchandising. 

 

Underwear

Even at its most fashion forward and conceptual best, Decorum embodies a sensual, sexual, raw and bare quality. Underwear and lingerie collections are natural extensions for the Decorum brand and a priority. Creative content drives business and the personality of this brand will motivate consumers. True to the brand concept, philosophy and style codes these collections will be forward, distinctive and provocative.  Edgy, hip, cool, confident, youthful and sexual, this most stripped back look at the personality of the Decorum customer is the focus.

Collections will explore the modern architectural and graphic sensibilities of the brand applying them to the form in creative and arresting ways. Always forward, directional and sexy. Constructions and techniques are important and take on a decorative aspect. The details, materials, and styling of vintage underwear and lingerie are signature elements in Decorum’s main collections and here is the opportunity to bring them full circle in the spirit of Decorum.

 

Eco

The “by dECOrum” range of eco-friendly apparel targets the growing market of eco-conscious fashion consumers. Not simply a clever play on the brand name the “by dECOrum” collection makes sense. Decorum embodies a distinctive point-of-view, a philosophy, an awareness of its place on the fashion landscape, a social awareness. At its core decorum is about creativity and functionality, design and application, duality. Here, the brands’ distinctive design takes on a new functional aspect and a new dimension in eco friendly materials. The materials change but the brand message remains the same. 

 

The Decorum collections intend to redefine celebrated propriety with forward, cutting-edge styling and a distinct hypermodern take on fashions’ norms, creating an international big league fashion product with a decidedly independent renegade vibe. Decorum aims to be an important brand on the fashion landscape, culturally relevant to the consumers’ way of life and speaking to the life they lead through dynamic connections to music, art and photography. New style, new rules.
