Founded in Italy by designers Galib Gassanoff and Luca Lin, Act N°1 is a brand that reveals a precise meaning: the first act, the first chapter, understood as the childhood of the designer couple, which inspired them in the development of their fashion brand.
Their personal histories and multicultural backgrounds (Chinese and Azerbaijani) intertwine, meet and collide in an explosive mix that touches on important issues such as inclusivity and the status of women around the world.
The garments, super hybrid, are a mix of two pieces sewn together, such as t-shirts attached to the shirt, pants-skirts or jackets to which it seems to be stuck, as if by accident, a tulle dress; an irreverent style, which collects memories of childhood, Chinese art and Azerbaijani craftsmanship and combines them in a seductive style and at the same time super cheeky.
The must-have piece? The mixed pleated and tulle skirt: a piece so unique that it surpasses all fashions, it will never get old and will only increase its style factor over time. To have!
