Freedom, experimentation and innovation: the cornerstones of the new Transit Women's Collection

The concept of the fashion brand TRANSIT stems from a strong calling for freedom, innovation, and experimentation. Its style statement is something entirely new that refuses to resemble anything or anyone else; it lives in a complete rejection of banality and absolute disdain for being a fashion victim.
The primary goal is to aim for perfection, and the tools chosen for this mission are the result of a creative synthesis between Scandinavian design and exquisite Italian craftsmanship.
Each piece carries a strong character evident in every stitch, an assertive yet elegant personality derived from creating combinations that go against the grain and the pursuit of increasingly stunning nuances.
The result is the creation of collections with clean designs, innovative textures, and precious details that make each piece extraordinarily unique. Moreover, the stylistic choice to blend essential lines with surprising material mixes responds to another prerogative that TRANSIT sets for itself: crafting extremely versatile clothing lines capable of spanning the entire day.

TRANSIT: New women's fall winter 2023/2024 collection

The new women's collection by TRANSIT remains true to the brand concept, emphasizing its avant-garde calling in the cuts and, especially, in the choice of nuances. These are garments with unexpected colors made even more astonishing by the use of ultra-modern techniques. The lines and volumes remain minimalist to grant a leading role to combinations that are both surprising and valuable.
Let's explore this collection with a futuristic attitude, starting with the upper clothing:

A grey knitted sweater made of pure virgin wool, featuring a raised collar in a selected ribbing that presents a soft volume slightly closed at the bottom by an outer gathered edge. Its uniqueness lies in the noticeable decreases motifs on the armhole and shoulder, along with the selected ribbing pattern with a sprayed curl detail at the cuff.
Fully fashioned jacquard wool and polyamide pullover with embossed, shaded horizontal pattern, boasting a wide and soft volume with a slightly dropped sleeve that tapers at the bottom. It features a boat neck with rolled edge and is available in black and taupe colorways. An oversized sweater in extra-fine virgin wool, rust-colored, with a dropped shoulder and an applied pocket high on the front. It has a boat neckline, bottom sleeve, and garment bottom with outward curling. A comfort-fit shirt with a mandarin collar in an olive-colored check pattern, playing with tones of olive, made in a wool-blend gauze fabric.

Transit women's collection, the flagship of knitwear

Noteworthy are some prestigious pieces in wool and alpaca, an oversized knitwear line of exquisite craftsmanship: a boat neckline sweater with ribbing and ruching, batwing sleeves, and ribbing at the cuffs; a sweater with a funnel neck and wide raglan sleeves featuring decreases motifs, a rounded front hem, and ribbed cuffs, available in black and milk. This fabric showcases a surprising technique involving a change in yarn and knitting to create a contrasting pattern between the front and back. The sweater with a two-color cable-knit ribbed pattern in a charcoal shade, featuring a wide and soft collar worked in a ribbed style and a dropped shoulder.

For the bottom section, two corduroy pants in viscose and stretch cotton stand out: one shorter with an open line at the bottom and an inner repositioned belt in ice and taupe colors, and another cargo style with a low crotch featuring frog mouth pockets and a center cut in ice and rust shades. Additionally, there's the Palazzo pant in embossed checked stretch wool blend.
The black skirt with pockets and central flap in linen and wool herringbone and buttons on the back; the unlined faux wrap skirt made of twisted yarn fabric, with pleats and decorative cuts in a brown wool blend with a salt-and-pepper effect.

TRANSIT dresses prove to be must-haves in the wardrobes of women seeking to combine comfort and femininity: a long total black shirt with a mandarin collar in crinkled viscose and visible buttons; a slip-effect dress in stretchy black viscose jersey, featuring a rounded hem and slightly shorter front.
To complete the winter outfits, TRANSIT offers two stunning coats. One is the fitted 'ice long coat' in boiled wool knit with shaped buttoning, side pockets, and an under-button on the collar, all finished with raw edges. It's also available in a sprayed effect version in grey and ice colorways. The other coat, available in black or charcoal, is a long, slim-fit knit wool coat worked in two faces - the outer with a subtle herringbone pattern and the inner with a fur-like effect. It features a cosy high collar fastened at the front by chunky two-hole oval buttons. The sleeves are embellished with chunky ribbed knit virgin wool cuffs that can be turned back. Large pockets are at the front, fastened by long zips adorned with tubular wool pulls.

TRANSIT: The Puffer Jackets of the New Fall-Winter 2023/2024 Collection

TRANSIT's mission is to dress women in every shade of the day, including the coldest ones. The Italo-Scandinavian brand offers incredibly warm solutions to tackle even the coldest temperatures without ever forsaking the modern and futuristic style that makes these puffer jackets truly unique.
The first item is a hooded down jacket filled with 50 grams of genuine goose down, dyed using the fade treatment, a technique creating a fading effect that gives the jacket a distinct and unique character. This puffer jacket is available in a short version in camel color and a long version in the rust nuance.
Then we have an oversized black nylon jacket with a hood, padded with goose down and lined with habotai silk. It features a central zip opening and side pockets—ideal for a cold evening out with friends, refusing to let the weather hinder the fun.
For autumn and late winter days, the fashion house offers a very cute-style vest, also made of nylon with goose feather padding and lined with habotai silk. This piece stands out for its wide collar, patch pockets, and the incredibly refined petrol color hue—a modern and fashionable solution.

The shrugs from the new Fall/Winter 2023/2024 collection

To be used in autumn as shrugs or in winter to complement outfits under coats, this fashion house offers solutions that have the value of making every outfit unique, fascinating, and special.
Let's start with two cardigans, both made of wool and alpaca: he first one is an oversized cream-colored piece with a shawl collar closed at the front by a button, featuring dropped shoulders, front patch pockets, and ribbed hem, while the other one is in a stocking stitch, a sophisticated design available in both sand and charcoal hues, serving as a backdrop for this V-neck cardigan closed at the front by a placket of oval horn buttons, with dropped sleeves and a slightly closed edge at the bottom.
Ideal for sunny late autumn days or as a complement to an outfit that includes an overcoat, jackets are a must-have in any wardrobe. TRANSIT's offerings take an extra step; their unique character is essential: a slim-fit short jacket in jacquard-cut knit with a micro-pattern in taupe viscose wool, featuring a lapel collar closed at the front by 3 buttons and small applied pockets.
A black hooded jacket with viscose and wool stocking stitch, finished with a tubular edge and a gathered hem that ends on the closed zipper placket; hooded jacket made of light boiled wool lined with viscose georgette, with a drawstring in the hem.
The quintessential garments representing transitional seasons are undoubtedly women's gilet, and this fashion house introduces one in cut knit, available in black or taupe, made from wool alpaca in a jacquard pattern with ramage motif. It features a V-neck, a closure with 4 buttons in lightweight metal, welt pockets, and darts that give it a fitted silhouette.
Let's conclude with the quintessential cover-up, the cape. Naturally, this brand's proposal is revolutionary compared to the original; it's an oversized model made from petrol-colored nylon lined with woolen cloth, featuring side slits, a zip closure, and pockets on the front cut.

A bit of brand history

The story of this fashion house is quite unique: it begins with two Danish designers in the '80s, sitting in a bar in the Marais district. They notice a neon sign with the word 'TRANSIT', the last letter handwritten, and they have the insight to create the iconic logo that features this very name with the same handwritten characteristic at the end of the word.

The actual brand, however, stems from the visionary Andrea Cozza: an Italian who created a fashion house with a fundamental pillar—family management—incorporating his children Anna, Franco, and Matteo into his grand dream. It all began in 1986 when Andrea founded Tam&Company Spa, initially operating in a 200-square-meter creative space producing a small line of manufacture and finishing. Things changed swiftly when the company acquired the TRANSIT brand and decided, in 2001, to expand its production to include menswear.

From that moment on, success rapidly grows, and today the company boasts a surface area of about 7,000 square meters, equipped with the best production facilities available on the market. This haute couture house has the invaluable principle of retaining the entire production cycle within its own premises; every step, from conception to realization, occurs within the company, a place where 100 people work in. In the world, distribution mostly occurs directly through the company's showrooms or by relying on exclusive agents who have collaborated with the company for over 20 years. Currently, this brand's clothing is established in 28 countries with approximately 800 multi-brand boutiques and 21 company-owned stores, a strong and impressive reality. The strength of TRANSIT's style lies in maintaining its Scandinavian roots and enriching them with Italian haute couture. Built on this solid foundation, the brand can afford to play and experiment freely in a continuous search for unusual combinations and innovative techniques. The Nordic origins are evident in the never-excessive lines and the intent to create a practical and comfortable clothing line, while our country's tradition lies entirely in artisanal craftsmanship and the choice of high-quality materials that ensure excellent stylistic results and durability.
All of this gives life to the TRANSIT concept: the play of contrasts and bold combinations, the blend of colors that highlight those who wear them, and the continuous search for new combinations of materials and shapes.
