Picture this: a military officer, pop singer and businesswoman meet at a bar. This weird and wonderful meeting captures the essence of the luxury womenswear brand, 5 Progress. With a thirst for life and appreciation for Italian artisanship, this designer range is for the fun, cosmopolitan woman.
Garments have the ability to be worn throughout the working day and taken straight out for dinner afterwards. They are captivating, charming and original; we simply can’t get enough!
Print & Pattern
The brand is young and vibrant, with bright pops of colour, eye-catching prints and funky decorations, all of which are markers of their effect on the designer world. From polka dots to stars to zigzagged lines to checks, 5 Progress is all about a good pattern. Although a fan of camouflage, the designer makes sure that you will not go unseen when dressed in his collection.
The designer range is unlimited in their matching of colour and print. There is a sophisticated mismatched likability to pieces which make garments so fun and interesting. You can pair them as they are or let your inner fashionista make the coordinating decisions. Casual, funky and cool, these clothes are bound to make you feel youthful.
Whether it is an all sequin outfit or all tulle look, the brand is not limited in their experimentation and creativity when it comes to fabrics. Cult pieces are decorated with old-school patchwork and embroidered motifs. With a focus on non-serious, fun experiments, garments will engulf you in colour, vibrancy and fun.
The Origins Of 5 Progress
5 Progress, the brainchild of Italian stylist Massimo Pepe was born in 2015. His idea was to create a capsule of personalized items for the modern woman. The collections are a wonderful mix of old school vintage and military style which can be worn to any occasion. Focusing on affordable luxury, the brand’s philosophy is centred around the everyday woman who wears their garments. A funky take on office chic, the brand reminds us that there is always space for boldness in your everyday life–in the office and outside of it.
