The Cultural Inspirations Behind METIS
Share
At METIS , we believe that identity is not limited to a single culture, a single origin or a single story . Our brand draws its essence from universal crossbreeding , this fusion of influences that shapes our world and enriches each individual.
Behind every METIS garment, there is a story, a heritage, a connection between peoples and traditions. Let’s dive together into the inspirations that gave birth to the brand.
THE UNIVERSALITY OF MIXING: A WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS
Interbreeding is not a modern phenomenon. For thousands of years, civilizations have been meeting, exchanging and mixing. From the Silk Road linking East and West to today's great cosmopolitan metropolises, history is marked by cultures that intersect and influence each other.
✨ METIS Inspiration : A brand that celebrates unity in diversity , where each piece is designed to be worn by everyone, without distinction.
PATTERNS AND COLORS OF THE WORLD: A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
Clothing has always been a symbol of identity and belonging . From African indigo to Japanese Boro fabrics , Mexican embroidery and Wax prints , every culture uses fashion as a means of artistic and cultural expression .
✨ METIS Inspiration : Designs that draw inspiration from these patterns, sometimes in the cut, texture or details of the clothes, to create fashion that is both minimalist and meaningful.
STREETWEAR: THE EXPRESSION OF URBAN CULTURES
Streetwear was born from the streets, communities, cultural movements . It draws its energy from hip-hop, skate, Japanese fashion and sportswear. It has always been a symbol of mixing, rebellion and global influence.
✨ METIS Inspiration : Pieces that combine minimalism, clean cuts and neat finishes , while remaining faithful to the values of comfort and universality of streetwear.
COMMITTED FASHION: RESPECTFUL OF THE PLANET AND CULTURES
The fashion industry has long been a sector of overproduction and waste , but a new generation of brands wants to change that. METIS is part of this movement by offering sustainable, ethical and responsible clothing.
✨ METIS Inspiration :
✔ Quality materials like organic cotton.
✔ Transparent production that respects artisans and the environment.
✔ A vision that goes beyond clothing : wearing METIS also means carrying a message.
NOMADIC IDENTITY: TRAVEL AS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
Whether in large multicultural metropolises like Paris, London, New York, Tokyo or in remote villages around the world, crossbreeding is everywhere. Every journey is an encounter, every culture is a learning experience.
✨ METIS Inspiration : Clothes designed to fit everywhere and everyone , like a modern uniform for a world citizen.
METIS: A BRAND THAT TELLS A STORY
METIS is much more than a clothing brand. It is a message, a philosophy, a celebration of what we all are: beings of mixed race.
Our inspirations come from history, cultures, cities, encounters and developments in the modern world . Each METIS piece is designed with this idea in mind: to create timeless clothes that speak to everyone, wherever they are.
