The brand name “FACETASM” is a neologism of the word “facet” which refers to one side of something many-sided.
A side of one object and the back of that same object might have a totally different meaning.
For us this means we don’t want to stick to any rules. We always aim for a new face, and take pride from our own set challenge.
Our goal is to create clothes that move people’s hearts, and allow those people to have fun.
F/CE
F/CE
F/CE. (Functionality. Culture. Exploration) produces functional and high quality clothing and bags based on contemporary fashion.
Our products are not only to make life convenient for the user, but also to enrich life itself.
We seek to create products that bring about new insights and discoveries, using cultures from around the world as inspiration for our designs.
Each season, the collection theme is a country chosen from around the world.
By actually visiting the country of the theme and expe riencing its lifestyle, history, architecture, art, music, etc., we incorporate the local inspiration into our designs and details.
Another important aspect of our work is specifications and functionality. We also place great importance on specifications, functionality, and completeness as a tool.
F/CE. products are only complete when we incorporate the functions needed for comfortable urban living with the images we have gained from our travels.
F.C.Real Bristol
F.C.Real Bristol
It started in 1999 as a football brand developed by SOPH.
They developed apparel inspired by all the people involved with a fictional football team, from players to supporters, and became pioneers in the now-common connection between sports and fashion.
The unrivaled original concept and sophisticated design resonated with the sports giant NIKE. From 2000 to 2015, the fictional team was developed as a groundbreaking double-name brand, with real companies participating as official suppliers.
After a collaboration with NIKE, SOPH. is now back on its own, and even now, it has grown into a fictional big club, covering the sports and lifestyle aspects of players and supporters.
1999 saw the birth of an original football wear brand, F.C. Real Bristol, encapsulating a culture of unity and loyalty to one's popular sport under a fictious team with the belief that fashion and football in style, goes hand in hand.
NIKE joined forces as an official supplier, satisfying its pioneering spirits and sophisticated design concept for the next fifteen years.
Now independent, the label continues to enrich a cohesion of sports and lifestyle as a common ground.
