END. x C.P. Company celebrate the “Corner Shop”

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, END. teams up with iconic Italian brand C.P. Company for their second collaboration: “Corner Shop”, a four-piece capsule inspired by the charm and color of British corner stores.

The collection reimagines C.P. Company’s iconic silhouettes, including the Goggle Puffer, Bomber Jacket, Technical Vest, and Shoulder Bag,  in a translucent icy blue Kan-D fabric. Developed through a complex flattening process, the material creates a luminous, cellophane-like finish that nods to the sweet aisle’s glossy wrappers.

For the first time, C.P. Company’s Goggle lens is framed in a metallic rainbow iridescent rim, capturing the collaboration’s playful yet technical essence. With transparent layers revealing garment construction, the collection blends innovation, nostalgia, and everyday beauty.

A.A. SPECTRUM SS26 – A RENEWAL

A.A. Spectrum draws inspiration from nature’s quiet renewal, guided by the spirit of ancient Chinese poetry and the emotional depth of 18th-century British Romanticism. Titled “A Renewal”, the collection explores creativity as something effortless, a reflection of life itself.

Blending craftsmanship and cross-cultural heritage, the collection unfolds as a historical reference with modern elements, as a dialogue between Chinese visual traditions and Romantic-era silhouettes. Silhouettes flow between sculptural and body-conscious, driven by material behavior rather than category. A special collaboration with Swiss designer Sarah Bounab reimagines traditional lucky charms into sculptural metal keyrings, just like a modern talismans rich in meaning.

“A Renewal” is a meditation on form, movement, and identity, a celebration of clothing meant to be lived in.

BARENA VENEZIA SS25 – A STUDY IN BALANCE

For Spring/Summer 2025, Barena Venezia presents collections that speak in harmony through a shared language of craftsmanship, tailoring, and a refined simplicity rooted in Venetian tradition.

The Men’s Main Collection evolves Barena’s signature blend of relaxed tailoring and functional elegance. Light, breathable fabrics shape a wardrobe that moves effortlessly between formality and ease. A neutral color palette sets a fresh yet grounded tone for the season. On the women’s side, under the direction of Francesca Zara, the collection explores an austere femininity: Pieces like the silk organza linen-viscose Brezza suit play with masculine elements reimagined through a delicate, confident lens. Other pieces, such as the hero blazers for example, reinterpret timeless tailoring for today’s woman.

With both collections, Barena Venezia reaffirms its identity: a quiet celebration of tradition and modernity, masculine and feminine, elegance and ease, always crafted in the Venetian surroundings since 1993.
