Spring fever

DANISH SLOW FASHION BRAND BY BASICS PRESENTS FRESH STYLES AND COLOURWAYS FOR 2023

It might still be Christmas, but spring is already on the horizon. And as we get ready for the impending new retail season ahead, by basics has unveiled a fresh new colour palette that combines calming and exciting hues.

The Danish short order label offers a rolling collection of timeless short order pieces, which its designers update each season with new colourways and shapes. Each style is available in a range of hues so buyers can effectively create their own unique edit.

What’s more, all of its garments are made to order in a matter of weeks so there’s no waste – creating a sustainable alternative to in-season buying.

Fresh colours and styles

CMO Gitte Borup explains: “We have added new colours and styles that shoppers can easily combine with the existing range to create unique wardrobes. “In our catalogue and look book, boutique buyers will find five different themes which range from the very pretty and feminine through to a cool sporty aesthetic. We've made it easy to find inspiration. Now, it's all up to you to mix and match your own unique edit. Your individual choice of colour will change the expression of each style.”

ORDER ONLY WHAT YOU NEED

As there’s no minimum order requirement for stockists, it’s fully flexible for buyers to create a collection that matches their shop and customer base.

As always, the by basics range is not based on seasons or specific collections. Instead its designers add relevant new pieces twice each year and trim the range simultaneously to ensure it contains the exact styles and colours buyers need. It's slow fashion in a world of colours with everything made to order to reduce waste. As the brand’s slogan states, “that’s easy to love.”
