MONGRELS IN COMMON
Neglecting ethnic, national and generic barriers they combine pieces of a cultural kaleidoscope creating a different style. Uncompromisingly mixing masculine severity and straightness with female delicacy together with high-quality materials they present a look that is elegant and exclusive as well as sexy and cool.
From the very beginning, blouses have been noted as the “Signature Piece” of mongrels in common. Every season, the designers Christine Pluess and Livia Ximenez-Carillo give their bestsellers new details, each carrying the mongrels look. Most notable are the “Piercing-Blouses” in which traditional buttons are replaced by silver or gold piercings, a unique feature of the iconic mongrels item. Their appeal is universal; even women who would not wear blouses make an exception for mongrels in common. Unconventional elegance, easy flow along the body and clear lines are significant in the mongrels aesthetic.
