About

THIRD FORM

THIRD FORM is a contemporary womenswear label offering a feminine, refined edge look for the busy urban lifestyle.

Inspired by successful women that travel and work the big cities of the world, THIRD FORM offers minimalist inspired designs with considered urban detailing and cuts that elevate the female form.

Blurring the lines between night and day as well as work and play, there are styles available for any occasion, open to the wearer's creativity. THIRD FORM's aesthetic is recognised for creating unique textures and signature structure. 

Challenging the modern wardrobe, ease and versatility is achieved through fabric selection and technical shapes. Whilst structures, cut and considered use of hardware, add strength and appeal. All while keeping it deeply feminine and it-girl cool.

THIRD FORM is designed for the modern jet-setting ambitious woman. Independent, strong, yet modest.

The fashion girl with a busy job, or the creative with places to go and people to see. Off-duty can now be your on-duty.
