There are special things which manage to belong to us instinctively, especially when they come from authentic manual skills, which we recognise, naturally.

Szen was created to support this spirit, through delicate and tenuous shapes, where the colours melt and mix in an effect polished by time. Each top is a unique item, a canvass on which the expert dyers intelligently measure the mixture of shades applied by hand, calibrating the gestures and the quantities of dye used.

When the garment is still only sewn on the shoulders, it is cross-stretched and printed by hand, at different stages. Each shade is applied in different phases, one for each decoration area, first on one side and then on the other. This is how a depth of colour and an unrepeatable texture is obtained: the different colours partially filter through from each side and can be read one through the other, revealing themselves from the edges and in filigree, creating an uneven and intense surface.

Right and wrong-sides no longer exist: the reversibility of each top multiplies the play of combinations, cancelling the concept of season and trend.

Layering isn't always the easiest of things to get right when putting together your winter outfit. Its an art form in itself and takes lots of time and practice to work out what goes together and what doesn't. Below are some steps to help you get the perfect winter layering look.

Working your way from the bottom.......

1. Start with a great pair of skinny jeans or leather leggings paired with ankle or long boots. (When layering, its always best to have your jeans or pants fitted so it balances out the top layers)

And working your way to the top....

2. Begin with a basic layer such as a long sleeve top. (Look for a basic that has a wool/cotton blend that will be lightweight and thin, yet super warm)

3. Add a cardigan or sweater as your 2nd layer. (With your 1st and 2nd layer, dont be afraid to go for prints and bold colours to make them the focus)

4. Outwear is key, so throw on a jacket or vest. (Stick to basic colours when choosing either a jacket or vest as they will pair with everything you put with them and not clash)

5. Last of all is to accessorise. A must have is a scarf, followed by jewellery and a classic bag.

Layering season is now upon us, so its time to stock up on great basics, knitwear, scarves, jeans, leather jackets, vests and boots. Don't go past fabulous brands such as Majestic, Cable, Alison White, M-Missoni, AG Adriano Goldschmied, Oscar & Wild and D.Co to fill your wardrobe with items that can be paired many ways and will last you for many seasons to come.
