Why nobody designs clothing for really hot weather like GBS

IN July 2007, GBS introduced the first Paris collection-level clothing designs specifically designed to adapt to the growing threat of rising global temperature levels.

Since then, temperatures and effects of climate change are being felt more than ever with global temperatures continuing to rise and the trend accelerating with the last 10 years having been the warmest on record, and 2024 the warmest year since global records began.

The super hot and humid summer weather at Cavarzere Venezia provides an ideal working environment to design and build the best hot-weather clothes in the world for your wardrobe.

GBS was the first to introduce global warming dedicated collections in Paris almost 2 decades ago and has continued to develop, improve and refine the concept year after year. Our "Superleggero" ultralight pure linen, cotton and silk fabrics and our pure cupro Bemberg-type linings developed and made only for us by the world's best lightweight all natural fibre specialist mills give our customers a fundamental strategic advantage over all other luxury brands who are still using plastics and synthetics in their products (we use none--bad for the heat and plastics make you sweat).

And because we work and live also in a very hot, humid place right outside of Venice, Italy--we can create extreme hot weather clothes ideas as designers in real-time environmental conditions--a major advantage over our distinguished colleagues working in other places that are less hot and less humid. Every day, just living in the heat and humidity (known locally as "affa") provides our firm with an ideal environmental test-conditions laboratory, where we are constantly thinking about and creating great clothes that we would want to wear immediately in such an environment which mirrors many areas around the world where our customers live and work from Southern China to Japan to Texas, Italy and the middle east.

Clothes that provide impeccable elegance, taste, innovation, value and artistic beauty in a world that is simply going to keep getting hotter. Like these exceptionally performing superlight extreme handmade wardrobe pieces now available for delivery here below..
