the story
UNE FORME, meaning ‘a shape’ in French, is a Los Angeles based sustainable apparel company that combines simplicity and minimalism into timeless pieces that serve as blank canvases for interpretation and personalization, while offering comfort and function for every day.
established in 2019, UNE FORME was founded by interior designer and project manager, Jennifer Wagner. with poise and the desire to expand her innate love for design and construction beyond spaces, she turned to her life-long passion for sewing, stemming from time spent with her mother and grandmother throughout her childhood.
working with a seamstress, she created a baseline of styles, and from there, began developing her own designs and patterns, that grew from a capsule collection to the shapes known today as UNE FORME.
the design
UNE FORME silhouettes are inspired by architectural and geometric elements that compliment the body’s shape.
each collection, APEX, DISQ, ANGL, LINEA, ARC, DIA and GEO is defined by these integrated elements, modern lines, and body revealing cut-outs, creating a cohesive design element throughout each collection.
ranging from natural neutrals to bold vibrant hues, the colours are not only meant to stand alone, but also compliment each other.
with a variety of body styles, the shapes are designed to pair, creating layers and blocks of texture, geometry, and color.
the signature raw “living edge” detail, is designed to change and age, making each piece a one-of-kind.
the process
handmade in their Los Angeles studio, UNE FORME uses natural fiber fabrics, and local AZO-free, non-toxic dye houses — both of which are ways to keep waterways safe.
each piece is also produced on a per-order basis, so there is less waste in landfills, less energy used for production, and less space required for inventory. it also allows them to be more size inclusive.
their in-house production means lower order minimums, shorter lead-times, better quality control, and more intimate relationships with their wholesale community.
with orders shipping from the USA in recycled or recyclable packaging, they have a reduced carbon footprint.
as an eco-minded brand, each UNE FORME order is not only unique, but also sustainably and ethically produced to create a better future for fashion.
