6397: A New Chapter in Fashion
When 6397 was first founded, it was known for its focus on creating essential wardrobe pieces. However, over time, the brand has evolved to incorporate more fashionable elements while still maintaining its core aesthetic. Designer Lizzie Owens describes the brand as a “fashion insider’s collected wardrobe,” offering a mix of perfectly imperfect jeans, T-shirts, and now, more trendy pieces.
One of the standout categories for 6397 is outerwear, with a recent canvas jacket drawing inspiration from a fireman’s uniform in a unique mustard yellow hue. Another popular piece is a knitted long coat with a menswear-inspired design, adding a formal touch with a hint of edge in its silhouette.
Graphic tees are a staple in every 6397 collection, with this season seeing a new exploration of screen-printing techniques on unconventional fabrics like silk. The result is a striking silk dress in blue and yellow hues, creating a “seersucker-y” effect after the printing process. Additionally, patchwork skirts made from surplus fabric showcase the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
For the latest look book, 6397 opted for a unique approach featuring a single model sporting different wigs. Owens explains that this decision was a metaphor for the brand’s exploration of subtle nuances, which come to life when paired with the right styling elements.
Overall, 6397 continues to push boundaries and redefine classic essentials with a contemporary twist. With a focus on quality craftsmanship and innovative design, the brand’s latest collection embodies a new chapter in fashion.
