Impasse

Founded in Antwerp, at the beginning of 2021, Impasse is a visionary mood board for everyday living, an ensemble of the past and present that portrays a lifestyle surrounded by elegance, settled between adoration for the iconic aesthetics of the post-war Slim Aarons photos series and nostalgia for the heritage of the nineties, realized with true attention to detail for today's needs. Past and present meet in this ensemble, with a harmonious blend of classic sportswear-inspired silhouettes and innovative modern details. Impasse awakens in a palette that at the same time glorifies the rich history of its hometown and Belgian fashion capital Antwerp, the iconic panoramas of the Alps ski resorts and the timeless aesthetic of the terraces in the streets of Paris. It simultaneously breathes ‘la dolce vita’ at Lake Como, cruising in an Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider 1963 and ‘la joie de vivre’ on the coastline of the French Riviera, strolling through a newspaper with a cigarette in hand. Encouraged by the drive and energy of sports icons like Michael Jordan, Diego Maradonna and Muhammad Ali, Impasse pays homage to iconic sportswear and timeless apres-sport aesthetics. The catchphrase “Enfants Du Monde” expresses freedom, independence and exploration. It highlights the ambition, confidence and love for the craft that lies in everyone who makes part of Impasse.
