Amy Powney, former creative director of Mother of Pearl, launches AKYN—her slow, soulful answer to luxury fashion. In this review, we explore her debut collection of thoughtfully crafted essentials: bi-colour trenches, cable-knit jumpers, tailored suits, and fringe-hem tees. Ethical, intentional, and deeply modern, AKYN feels like a manifesto for the future of slow luxury.

In an age where quiet is the new loud, and elegance whispers rather than shouts, minimalist luxury is having a profound moment. It’s not just a design philosophy—it’s a way of living. Think of it as the refined intersection where form meets function, where sustainability aligns with sophistication, and where less truly becomes more.

In a world driven by trends and fast turnover, choosing slow fashion isn’t just a style decision — it’s a quiet act of rebellion. It says: I care who made my clothes. I care what they’re made of. I care about the impact they leave behind.
