vaderetro

A little anachronistic*, a little old-fashioned, Vaderetro is both anti-modern and thoroughly retro-garde*. It is not just a brand; it is an art de vivre. We spread arts, cultures, and subcultures through our unique and diverse genderless* clothing style.

This is not fashion*. We refuse a temporary ideal, ephemeral fashion, choosing a pro-authenticity – anti-“product” ethos instead. Vaderetro transcends any socially constructed barriers to transmit an effortless vision of apparels.

As a time machine, Vaderetro selects, rediscovers and rethinks what once were wardrobes essentials. Reinventing the past to create the new, we tell the story of a Paradise Lost named after the fond memories of days long gone. we nurture ourselves from one precise emotion: nostalgia*. Every season, Vaderetro is reborn from its own ashes into another zeitgeist*.

After all, Vaderetro is a kind of rebellion: a touch impertinent, a touch eccentric. We celebrate individuality and self-creation resisting a world of uniformity that comes with picking mass-produced garments off a rack. Vaderetro is the power of choosing to be you, accepting your uniqueness and acknowledging that you don’t need to be the whole to be part of the whole.
