Rule-Breaking Fashion Labels

A Better Mistake Melds the Worlds of Music, Art, and Fashion

Digital native fashion label A Better Mistake was founded in Milan, Italy, during the country's 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. The highly subversive brand aims to disrupt traditional fashion industry dynamics by offering gender-free, eco-friendly, and seasonless collections and pieces.

In addition, instead of looking to current trends, A Better Mistake turns to underground art groups and lesser-known music scenes for inspiration, melding the world's punk rock, raves, avant-garde art, and high-fashion. Recently, the brand unveiled its newest collection, which consists of a wide-ranging assortment of pieces. In keeping with the brand's rule-breaking ethos, the collection does not have a major theme or stylistic throughline. Rather, it is made up of a variety of far-out pieces, including tailored suits, fully-body fleeces, and striped pajamas.
