NOCTEX HARMONIZES BETWEEN ORGANIC AND MAN-MADE STRUCTURE
Multi-wearable and shape shifting layers are the backbone to creating subtle diversity, as each garment takes it's truest form when in motion with the wearer. NOCTEX embodies the global citizen that values form, utility and ethical design.
ABOUT NOCTEX PRODUCTION
- From 2011-2024 With over 90% use of deadstock textiles, we connected individuals with socially and environmentally responsible and limited edition designs. NOCTEX repurposed over 10,000LBS of deadstock textiles in a decade of Canadian and American manufacturing.
- In 2020 NOCTEX became a multi-brand platform. We curate all products in-house, assuring quality that upholds the NOCTEX customer standard
- In 2024, NOCTEX expanded production working direct with factories in China that we visit yearly to assure not only quality, but the ethical standards that we are rooted in.
With collections revolving around themes of growth and change, every decision made from design to production is striving for more innovative usage of resources. With the constant consumer education on the global fashion market and its effects, we as a brand and a member of the slow fashion community continue to grow and find innovative ways to improve the overall garment experience.
N. IZAD'S BIOGRAPHY
Before entering her bachelors for Fashion Design and Technology, Negin worked in a large used garment warehouse as a vintage picker at the age of 17. Truck loads of clothes were unloaded in the warehouse every day, with more fast-fashion garments with tags attached.
Exposed to the immediate waste of the fashion industry, Negin found her purpose in garment design in those industrial warehouses. NOCTEX was created in 2011 as an independent initiative to produce garments with transparent practices and to create without the imposition of the fast-paced modern fashion industry.
NOCTEX released its first seasonal collection in Fall 2013, revolving around the idea that only 3 garments can be worn together or apart in 15 different ways.
Years later, NOCTEX still works under the same umbrella of values; simplicity, functionality, utility and ethical production.
