index® was born from a belief in the functional value of essential garments and a culture of research, technical design, manufacturing and innovation that spanned more than a decade at the apex of the European apparel industry. Destined to evolve from a service into a symbol for extreme quality and garment expertise, it was redefined as a brand. In order to meet the most demanding requirements for flawless fit and enduring quality, index® follows the japanese idea that incremental innovations can reap significant change. We explore and develop new materials, technologies and all aspects of manufacturing. The most compelling results are applied to essential garments whose constructions are mainly driven by a focus on proportions, classic cuts and comfortable fit. It’s worth claiming that quality is one of the most essential concepts, and perhaps, the core value of all clothing. Based on this principle, index® engineers garments for people who are mindful of what they wear and wish to enhance their wardrobe with a level of quality that matches their integrity. Transforming a category known for disposable basics into lifetime companions, index® delivers long-lasting garments that encourage people to discover state of the art techniques and become a catalyst for innovation.
