Comparative Brand Analysis
12 STOREEZ: The Aesthetics of «Quiet Luxury» and Mature Calm
12 STOREEZ embodies simple elegance, designed to elevate your everyday life.
12 STOREEZ means «twelve stories»: twelve mini-collections per year instead of the usual two seasons.
Each month features a new capsule collection that doesn’t replace the previous one but rather complements it.
The brand is characterized by a delicate palette, premium tailoring, and classic silhouettes in the style of «quiet luxury.»
• Color: An exclusively soft, natural, and noble palette. Dominant tones include milky, beige, camel, coffee, gray mélange, along with deep yet muted shades (burgundy, chocolate, khaki, dark blue).
• Material: A focus on premium and tactile raw materials. We most often use cashmere, merino wool, silk, satin, dense cotton, linen, and soft, genuine leather. Textures are matte, fluid, or cozy and voluminous.
• Silhouette: Understated, refined, predominantly straight or slightly relaxed (soft oversize), without exaggerated volume.

Inspired by the diversity of life’s styles, we create timeless essentials that will remain a valuable part of your wardrobe for years to come.
ZNWR — Intellectual Fashion and Conceptual Art
We don’t create clothing; we create states of being, stories, meaning—our own distinct world.
The brand emphasizes complex tailoring, oversized silhouettes, conceptual philosophy, manifestos, and a cooler, industrial, or deep monochromatic palette. «Zen Wear» means «to be in a state of deep concentration.» The brand believes that clothing doesn’t merely adorn a person—it creates their state of being.
• Color: Architectural and monochrome palette. Deep charcoal black, graphite, cool gray, pure white, and rare, complex accents (dusty burgundy, indigo, olive) dominate. • Material: Focus on density, shape retention, and urban textures. Heavy, dense cotton (brushed and plain fleece), structured denim, shape-retaining suiting wool, technical nylon, and eco-leather are used. The fabrics hold the geometry set by the designer well. • Silhouette: Pronounced oversized fit, deconstruction, and gender neutrality (unisex). The silhouettes feature exaggerated volumes—dropped shoulders, elongated sleeves, and loose-fitting trousers and hoodies. The cut lines are graphic, angular, and conceptual, often complemented by minimalistic, manifesto-like text prints.
ZNWR
• Freedom from stereotypes through the lens of conceptual oversized silhouettes and architectural tailoring.
