About us
Notion
RENÈ, a Copenhagen-based brand that focuses on voluminous designs, gender fluidity, and diversity. Our design approach challenges norms, blending oversized proportions and architectural silhouettes with inspiration from Asian and Scandinavian aesthetics. We explore how clothing interacts with movement and posture, and how it can be adapted to different body types, ages, and genders. This approach challenges traditional ideas of masculinity and femininity and adds a sense of comfort and ease to our designs.
At RENÈ, we use only premium materials, including deadstock Italian wool, Japanese fabrics, and textiles from the Danish company Kvadrat. Our focus is quality and craftsmanship, blending traditional tailoring with a contemporary, genderless perspective.
We believe in a holistic approach to design, development, and production – using a blend of modern and traditional methods within a framework that considers environmental and social factors.
Values
Currently, we primarily focus on two Sustainable Development Goals: Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12) and Partnership for the Goals (SDG 17).
We support these goals by using CAD software in the design process, which minimizes waste & number of prototypes needed. We also utilize deadstock materials from reputable manufacturers in Italy and Japan to deliver high-quality products.
Also, Our production is socially sustainable. Our styles are produced by reputable tailors in Thailand and family-owned businesses, providing meaningful employment to women facing difficult circumstances. Additionally, we follow a low-batch production model to ensure we do not overproduce.
In this way, we combine a responsible low-batch production process, high-quality textiles, CAD software in the design process, precision in detail, timeless aesthetics, and an inclusive design approach.
Dreams
We dream of establishing a genderless fashion brand that merges sustainable production practices and craftsmanship from around the world with innovative presentations and a community that fosters unrestricted self-expression and celebrates human diversity.
Fundamentally, a strong fashion brand today must create a space that upholds these values: diversity, creativity, and new technology, while remaining attentive and responsible to our planet.
Our ultimate vision is to create this space – celebrating diversity through voluminous and sophisticated clothing made from sustainable textiles and production methods, blending modern and traditional approaches rooted in craftsmanship, intellect and cultural understanding.
