About the People:

Elena - As a teenager growing up in Italy, Elena struggled with depression and severe anxiety attacks. Unable to express herself, it took her a long time to understand what was happening. She was scared and too proud to ask for help, feeling like nobody would understand her. When it became debilitating – long days not able to get out of bed, stopping attendance at school – she started therapy whch helped her a lot. Elena references the worst part being that she couldn't even find any sense or reason to justify what she was feeling, or find the will to try to fix it. As Elena grew older, she became more aware of her emotions, and the people around her helped her a lot to overcome and manage these challenges. Even now, she says “I still have good days and bad days, and I know that’s something I’ll always have to face, but I approach it very differently than before! The simple act of talking about it has helped me immensely.”

Elena - Height: 175cm - Measurements: 84cm / 64cm / 90cm

Nina - Nina’s experiences with mental health are more indirect, in that during her time currently at university away from her home country of France, the majority of Nina’s friends and community are feeling sensitive around their mental health. “So many people are feeling anxious, stressed, struggling with depression and anxiety. It seems nobody feels safe. At its worst, there are several people where the anxiety is manifesting into eating disorders like anorexia nervosa”. Nina advises that several of her community are seeking support through therapy.

About the Product:

Asymmetric knee-length skirt. The gabardine fabric is an exclusive yarn to EBiT™ weaved in an Italian artisanal family owned mill in north-east Italy, using organic cotton on a machine with 80,000 needles (see process videos). Gabardine is a fabric often used for strength and durability, symbolizing a new form of uniform and protection, for those fragile and sensitive days. Unisex, structured raw-edge assymentrical skirt with button closure at waist. Raw edges symbolize the raw state of our emotions, cut off but always a cool effortless vibe.

About the Label:

Every EBiT™ item of clothing has the signature 66cm light blue label, containing deep references that yearn to be researched. It's visible through the octagon hole (the octagon being a symbol of rebirth, transition). The label has multiple styling options, intentionally designed to be:

• Worn inside the garment with the flash of blue visible to the outside
• Pulled through the octagon feature and worn externally outside the garment with the long label flowing freely
• Cut-off completely exposing your undergarment, your skin, your tattoo, etc.

The EBiT™ signature long light blue label is symbolic of how we contain or express our inner most emotions every day - being cut off, feeling open yet protected or feeling completely free and externalizing that day.
