NON+YOU – When clothing becomes a unique creation
The NONPLUS design philosophy is based on minimalism, timelessness, and conscious wardrobe building. That is why the models in our BASIC collection have remained unchanged in our range for years: they are pieces that work well in the long term and can be a natural part of everyday life.
From time to time, however, the need arises for clothing design to step beyond the frameworks of functionality and form and engage with another creative field. The NON+YOU selection was born from this concept.
The collection includes special models created with unique artistic collaboration. The graphics, drawings, and hand-created motifs appearing on the clothes are not added to the surface as mere decoration, but become an organic part of the garment. In such cases, the attire is no longer just clothing, but also a carrier of a creative process.
Every piece is singular and unrepeatable
A large part of the fashion industry is built on mass production. Hundreds or even thousands of copies are made of a successful model, reaching customers in an identical form.
NON+YOU, by contrast, chooses a different path.
Many pieces in the collection exist in only a single copy. Often, only one item is made of a model featuring a specific graphic, so the artwork on the clothing cannot be reproduced or repeated. This not only increases the aesthetic value of the piece but also creates an entirely different connection between the wearer and the garment.
When choosing this, the customer is not selecting a mass-produced product, but an object of which there is no other identical one.
Clothing as a medium
In the history of fine arts, canvas is traditionally the medium of creation. The pieces in the NON+YOU collection fill a similar role.
Natural materials, clean-cut silhouettes, and understated forms consciously create space for artistic content. The clothing does not compete with the graphic; it provides an opportunity for it to unfold.
Thanks to this, every single model carries a different story. Some graphics draw inspiration from nature, while others explore themes of the inner world, memory, symbols, or even the relationship between light and shadow.
The Equinox series
A defining part of the NON+YOU selection is the result of our collaboration with visual designer Borbála Kiss.
The works created on the theme of the Equinox explore the cyclical nature of the natural world, the search for balance, and the meeting of light and shadow. The graphics do not function as illustrations; they appear as independent visual thoughts on the surface of the clothing.
The deer, the angel, the star motifs, or the abstract drawing elements are all archetypal images that transcend seasons and trends. Their meaning is not tied to any single period or event; rather, they evoke personal associations and individual interpretations.
More than clothing
The NON+YOU collection is not about fast consumption.
These models are made for those who appreciate the creative process, hand-crafted details, and the special value of unrepeatable objects. They are pieces situated on the borderland of fashion design and fine art, and in many cases, only a single example exists.
Because just as there are no two identical creations, there are no two identical people.
NON+YOU celebrates this uniqueness.
About the creator – Borbála Kiss
The creator of certain pieces in the NON+YOU collection is visual designer Borbála Kiss, whose work unfolds at the intersections of theater, fine art, set design, and fashion design.
Her creative world is characterized by a special visual sensitivity, symbolic thinking, and a deeply intuitive vision. Her works often draw inspiration from nature, the layers of the human inner world, and those difficult-to-articulate connections that reach beyond the limits of everyday perception. Her visual language is simultaneously grounded and timeless, personal and universal.
The uniqueness of the pieces created for NONPLUS lies in the fact that the clothing's cut, form, and the graphics appearing on them are all parts of Borbála's creative work. Thus, these models are not merely clothes with unique graphics, but entirely independent works of art where attire and fine art form a natural unity.
Every piece is an imprint of a single creative process – unrepeatable, personal, and singular.
