Lumen et Umbra Women’s Debut

Lumen et Umbra, the under-the-radar Italian label known for its deceptively simple menswear, introduced their first collection of womenswear in Paris earlier this month. Issei Fujita, the Japanese-born designer who has been working in Italy since 1999, has transferred the same understated complexity of his men’s garments into tops, skirts, pants, and jackets for women. Intarsia, a technique for embedding visual details into the knitwear by inserting different threads, was the idea behind some of the designs. Fujita studied Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings of the muscle groups, which he then implanted on the back of the cardigans and the front of his knit tops.

Submissions For Volume 2

One of the best things about StyleZeitgeist is that it brings an amazing amount of creative and talented people together. We would like to reflect that in the magazine. If you would like to write, photograph, style, do makeup or hair for issue 2 of StyleZeitgeist magazine, we will be happy to consider you.

We are looking for talented people, preferably with, but also without prior experience. What matters is that you are good.
