STUDIO DAYS IN LONDON
A DAY WITH TACITURNLI®
London, October 2025.
The camera follows six vivid and distinctive creative artists, capturing the moments when they encountered Taciturnli.
Over the course of three months of individual artist features, a series of frozen frames revealed how London-based artists from different disciplines each expressed their own identity when wearing Taciturnli. Now, the final video is ready to be shared. As the lens shifts from stillness to motion, the attitudes hidden in the folds of garments and the passion flickering in the creators’ eyes unfold freely through moving images.
Beyond the camera, the artists also had questions for Taciturnli.
Merry Lamb Lamb: I know you guys are pretty well-known for repairing and encouraging people to purchase fashion items that will serve a lifetime. What are your thoughts on people nowadays slowly shifting their fast-fashion mindset toward a more nature-focused lifestyle? What are your thoughts and hopes about sustainable fashion in the future?
Taciturnli: Our brand has always strived to create pieces that users are willing to wear for years to come, through thoughtful design and exceptional quality. We believe that while products built to last may come with a higher cost and price point, their long-term usability makes them far more valuable in terms of time and wear experience—this is the eco-friendly and sustainable philosophy we stand by. When it comes to the future of sustainable fashion, we firmly believe that the holistic solution to sustainability lies in building a complete closed-loop apparel ecosystem. Much like an organic farm, all materials and products created within this system can be rationally utilized and recycled. This requires us to account for every element generated throughout the apparel development and operation process, organize and allocate all these elements to form a cohesive ecosystem. Naturally, this also calls for collaboration with more external institutions.
VC Pines: What inspires you to design the pieces you make?
Taciturnli: Every idea is inspired by life and experience. By observing our daily lives and genuine experiences with great attention, we uncover our own needs and we always take these intrinsic needs as the starting point for product development and creative planning. We believe that staying true to our authentic vision allows us to create works that embody our unique brand identity.
Stephen Kenny:Your clothes feel at once European and Chinese. They have a good workwear fit while being extra roomy. Is there an era that inspires you the most? Or a country?
Taciturnli: We’re truly honored and grateful to hear you have such an experience, and we couldn’t agree more. In fact, what we’ve always strived to do is explore and discover new design possibilities, while simultaneously solidifying and evolving the brand’s inherent DNA. That’s why every new design builds on the foundation of our past creations. As for the sense of fusion you’ve felt: when the brand was founded in 2011, our design focus was heavily inspired by American workwear styles of the 1930s to 1950s. In 2017, we began to experiment with European workwear and casual styles of the 1930s to 1940s. And since 2020, we’ve aimed to bring the outdoor apparel aesthetics of the 1970s to 1980s to our audience. Every new creative exploration in the brand’s journey has been imprinted and integrated into our DNA, culminating in a diverse and layered product experience for our wearers.
Finally, special thanks to Leng Yu for overseeing the video production and final editing of the entire London shoot, allowing every precious moment to be perfectly preserved.
