OVERALL OFFICE - founder & ardirector
OverAll Office is an independent fashion brand based in Prague.
We are two badass mothers and behind each of the garments
we make there is a story of care and responsibility.
… Care towards craftsmanship and attention to details.
Perfectly fitting cuts that suit all types of bodies and
can be worn from morning till evening, with an eye on the longevity and
functionality of the products.
… Responsibility for the planet we inhabit,
whose destiny is closely entangled with ours.
Since 2016 we strive for sustainability, in all its facets.
From the fabrics (organic, deadstock, or from regenerated yarns),
to the production (which is done in the Czech Republic,
in eco-responsible factories),
to the shipping (via compostable mailers and recycled paper wrapping).
What we create is a gesture of love. We hope you will enjoy it.
Across fashion, design, and sustainability.

Publication Overal Magazine is a medium reflecting fashion as
a complex social phenomenon. It features authors, fashion designers and creators who think beyond the basic framework of function and form, and reveals the broader context in which fashion meets activism, fine arts or social sciences.
It is a relaxed space where fashion is considered in a broader socio-cultural context. Reflecting on aspects and tendencies
of contemporary independent fashion design, the focus is on their theoretical contexts and projects that emerge from subcultures and enter the mainstream. Clothing should not only be seen as a commodity but can be perceived as information or a message about our society. The aim is to present clothing as an output of a spectrum of opinions. The interviews, author's texts, and anthologies are intended for a Czech audience and are in the Czech language.
I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the creation of Overal Magazine.
