Amivectio: Community-Inspired Streetwear

Amivectio, The Peace of Mind Tee $32

For those who have been looking for stylish streetwear with a classic twist, wait no more because Amivectio is here and ready to rock the urban streetwear scene. The new apparel line officially launched this month and caters to “men’s fashion revolutionaries” . Adapting its name from Latin words “amicus”, which means friend or comrade, and “circumvectio” which means to assail or revolt, Amivectio stands for “Friends of the Revolution”.

Fashion veteran and Creative Director Hector Estrada who has worked with brands like ECKO, MECCA and TRIKO is behind Amivectio. Every piece of the inaugural spring line is a functional and innovative re-interpretation of a classic garment. This includes traditional collar button-down shirts with ventilation and adjustment systems, timeless crew neck sweatshirts with added side mobility and chain-stitched messages such as “Truth Seeker”, and classic lightweight knits made of 100% Peruvian Prima cotton, featuring asymmetrical design accents. The unique chain-stitched messages is a proof of Amivectio’s testament of streetwear’s versatility, offering strong messages in a softer, yet more confident voice.

Hector Estrada stated:

“Amivectio will deliver useful and groundbreaking designs that will make you feel and look good, while inspiring revolution by design, communication, and community.”

The brand sticks by its thick philosophy and goal that is to define modern Americana while re-interpreting classic fashion with innovation and functionality, guided by principles of quality, beauty, rhythm, balance, comfort and inspiration.

According to its website, the brand has its own manifesto.

Every so often a dramatic change in ideas is needed. This transformation is usually made possible by a group of individuals who make it their passion to create this change and start a revolution.

Amivectio is that revolution.

Amivectio embraces those who make it their mission to challenge and alter the system for the good of the masses. There are many types of revolutions and many without guns or violence. Throughout history there have been essential social, cultural, industrial, digital and sexual revolutions all over the world.

Today, our revolution is an informed movement led by the many, not the few, to achieve the following six principles through design, communication, and community.

Equal opportunity

Clean air, water, soil, and energy

Health and sustainability

Education

This year, Amivectio will support the Clean Water Action, an organization of 1.2 million members working to empower people to take action in protecting America’s waters, build healthy communities and to make democracy work.
