Undressing the ‘Urban Uniform’
An “urban uniform” is an ever-evolving concept that commonly conjures imagery of moody, utilitarian style – but for Italy-based FGF Industry, its soon-to-launch line, B. Tactical, delivers a sleek, sophisticated, modern take on American military apparel that eschews banal, outdated attire and enhances everyday looks. Inspiration for the line is drawn from military heritage and U.S. Army uniforms – more specifically, “American military apparel par excellence,” according to Enzo Fusco, FGF Industry president and founder. Its first collection for spring/summer “reinterprets the uniform concept” and does so through striking parkas, anoraks and bomber jackets that the brand revamped with technical details, creating a more “urban” look through “volume and finishing touches, while still staying true to its roots,” the company said. “Since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by the military world,” Fusco told WWD. “I used to collect military garments I found all around the world, especially in vintage stores and flea markets. B.Tactical is a kind of return to origin, while keeping an eye to the future.” Fusco continued, “The inspiration behind the capsule is of course the American uniform, but the result in the end is still a simple line, with clean patterns and fabrics, practical and quite contemporary.
