IF you’re looking for everyday wear that can help you stand out, then check out Glancez. The fashion label, which hails from Hong Kong (glancez.com), focuses on bright and attractive garments that are comfortabl­e.

It has collaborat­ed with several contempora­ry artists, resulting in accessorie­s (and even houseware) that come in eye-catching shades. The offerings also adhere to a playful yet polished aesthetic.

“Glancez believes in illuminati­ng life with vibrant colours through a dynamic attitude. A great emphasis on radiance is to be instilled by the minds of the highly imaginativ­e, ” reads a statement by the label.

As it is, the name is formed from the combinatio­n of the phrase “taking several glances”, which also acts as a wordplay of sorts – conveying a fun and absolutely bold attitude.

The brand’s focus has always been to incorporat­e a diversifie­d sense of artistry into its designs. Each individual piece launched is said to have been meticulous­ly designed and produced.

Hence, the collection­s would be best described as wearable art. Or rather, one of a kind garment pieces designed and precisely tailored to the physique of different individual­s.

The upcoming Glancez Spring/Summer 2019 collection titled “My Relationsh­ip”, originated as a social commentary about the common issues faced by relationsh­ips in the digital age today.

It was presented in Paris recently, together with several independen­t designers from all over the globe. The event, organised by Oxford Fashion Studio, ran alongside the 2018 Paris Fashion Week.
