the art of layering — styling rundholz black label with what you already own

layering is more than just a practical way to dress — it’s a creative practice. a way to express mood, texture, proportion, and individuality. and no one does it quite like rundholz black label.

known for its architectural shapes, unusual seams, and deeply wearable edge, black label invites you to build a look. not just put on clothes. but what makes it truly special is how effortlessly it can live alongside the pieces already hanging in your closet.

start with shape
black label is never flat. think cocoon coats, exaggerated hems, cropped knits, and ruched trousers. these pieces bring an element of structure — or un-structure — that turns a simple outfit into a visual story. pair a voluminous black label skirt with a gauzy krista larson blouse, or throw a fitted forme d’expression jacket over your favorite cotton tee. the contrast in form is what makes it feel alive.

add layers of intention
layering isn’t about piling on clothes. it’s about thoughtful placement — a sheer tunic under a cropped sweater, a button-up left open over a sleeveless dress, or a vest thrown on as punctuation. the key is to play with length and line. our designers all offer unique silhouettes that layer beautifully together: black label’s edgy proportions, krista larson’s romantic softness, forme’s quiet structure — it’s a visual conversation.

mix old with bold
don’t be afraid to bring your familiar staples into the fold. a favorite pair of jeans? yes. that silk blouse you’ve had forever? perfect. our shop’s pieces are made to mix. black label doesn’t need a matching set — it loves contrast. it elevates and transforms what you already love, giving your wardrobe a fresh language.

texture is everything
crinkled cottons, hand-dyed silks, weathered linens, matte jerseys — our designers know texture. when layering, lean into this. rough with smooth, crisp with soft, structured with fluid. texture adds depth without weight and creates quiet visual drama.

color stories
rundholz black label often moves in moody, grounded tones — black, fog, stone, dusk — while krista larson may bring a soft wash of color and forme d’expression offers deep neutrals with soul. when layering, use color to create rhythm. keep it tonal or break it gently with an unexpected shade. let one piece anchor the look, then build around it in shades that speak to each other.

wear it your way
the beauty of layering with our designers is that there are no rules. they were never meant to be worn one way. fold, tie, scrunch, twist. make it personal. style is not about perfection — it’s about intention.

these pieces were made to be worn and re-worn, remixed and reimagined. each layer adds a new line to the story. and when you bring together rundholz , krista larson, forme d’expression, etc. and your own well-loved staples — the result is completely your own.
