NEW SILK ROAD - THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COLLECTION II
Rooted in aselectfew's four pillars - luxury aesthetics, cross-cultural elements, technical application and sustainable practices - we are thrilled to unveil our latest collection, New Silk Road – a profound departure from our inaugural release four years ago. This clothing and accessory collection marks a significant shift as we delve into the realm of cut-and-sew garments, a testament to our commitment to constant evolution.
Inspired by the historic Silk Road that bridged the East and West, and the clandestine online Silk Road, our New Silk Road collection seamlessly merges these influences, becoming a beacon where luxury aesthetics, technical innovation, cross-cultural elements, and eco-conscious decisions converge.
Derived from the traditional Silk Road's legacy of connecting distant cultures, the New Silk Road collection draws parallels with the online Silk Road, where goods were exchanged anonymously in the Black Market. We redefine this narrative as the New Silk Road, blending traditional influences with Western techniques and silhouettes.
Embracing silhouettes from Western fashion and infusing them with South Asian identity, the New Silk Road cultivates a unique experience. This design language, inspired by both worlds, invites individuals to embark on a journey and become part of our vibrant community.
Designed for year-round wear and any weather condition, every piece in the collection is uni-fit, reflecting our dedication to versatility. We incorporate natural and recycled materials, including dead-stock metallic silk jacquard and Oeko-Tex certified fabrics, to minimize our environmental impact and ensure that our garments are not only eco-friendly but also of the highest quality.
Technical innovation takes center stage, introducing water-resistant materials and taped seams, while maintaining contemporary and timeless cuts and silhouettes.
Our latest collection introduces cross-cultural references, weaving them into modern, harmonious styles and colours. The emphasis on storytelling, sustainability, and ethical production is evident in each piece. From Phulkari print Italian cashmere knit sweaters to technical KRTA with ergonomics in mind, our offerings celebrate cultural luxury and heritage.
Essential pieces include organic cotton natural dye tees, celebrating heritage, superstitions, and spirituality. Our outerwear items, such as the waterproof hoodie, NHRU Vest, and cropped ANRK with silk jacquard paneling, feature luxury fine metal buttons, rivets, or magnetic accessories. Custom-made items like our KMBL pullovers and zip-up jackets showcase distinguished floral print blanket fabric, adding a touch of individuality.
As we navigate the New Silk Road, we invite you to join us in this celebration of fusion, innovation, and sustainability. Explore our collection, where every piece tells a story, and every choice reflects our commitment to a brighter, more harmonious future.
