Philosophy
Ter Et Bantine is an Italian brand of womenswear, featuring essential and rough style, but also practical, pure and minimal.
Manuela Arcari confers to collections an austere imprinting, dedicated to women who loves to wear new and revolutionary standards.
Ter et Bantine was founded in 1992, bringing on catwalks a special attention to a female figure, real and true, contextualizing it in real life.
Manuela wears the silhouette with sober but not punitive clothes, in which purity can also open the to refined decoration, in a new and moderate way.
Severe clothes show a grace, a fluid femininity, designed as an open and free language; although so strict, clothes know how to seduce, digging in the folds, between cuts shapes, so that forgotten memories can re-emerge.
Ter et Bantine simplicity is complex, full of nuances which branch off from soft neutral tones, such as white, beige and cream-colored, up to bold colors, like electric blue, red and yellow.
The Manuela’s couture focuses on effortless elegance, the fascination derived from the shape, developing a wardrobe of basic garments, strongly archetypal: tops, skirts, jackets, trousers offer modular outfits, always contemporary.
With no excess or frills, Ter et Bantine featuring mannish collections, which seduce with its purity of gray mélange, bold cuts and tailor details, but also for pinstripes of combed wool.
Ter et Bantine aims at essence, with clean lines and colors; dresses and coats erase any shapes and fall to the foot, while both long and short skirts are static.
Jackets lose their sleeves, becoming unusual vests, tight below the breasts with leather belts, so that they redesign the waistline.
Blouses have egg sleeves, often with fur details as in tops and skirts, highlighting an essential and unusual allure while soft mannish trousers are enriched with pleats.
