GOESTO: The New Standard

You know the feeling.

Staring at an overflowing closet, with a never-ending sense of having nothing to wea. Clothing with seams coming apart after only a few turns in the wash.

It began with simply wanting to understand ‘quality.’

It’s a systemic issue. We’re not afraid of that. We’re building a company that proves there is a better way.

We’re making clothes what they should be: Clothes that fit. Clothes that feel great. Pieces that inspire.

This isn’t a trend. This Is The New Standard.

That's why GOESTO fashion needs to travel around the world.

1 simple question: Do you know where your clothes come from?

GOESTO is a Belgian Brand which has his roots in Italy, Monza. It is a European brand, designed and made in Europe. It is all about two family owned businesses which are working together to achieve The New Standard. On 15th September 2016 the first GOESTO-collection was shown in Belgian in two shops, one shop near Antwerp and one shop near Ghent.

GOESTO began with a grand vision:

to combat the fast-fashion craze by providing a platform and cloths for only these people that care about timeless style and solid construction.

On October 30th, 2016, one of the main speakers, Annemie Turtelboom, on the GlobsecTatra Summit in Bratislave (Slovakia) was wearing a dress of Goesto.

GLOBSEC TATRA SUMMIT is a prominent international conference discussing the most pressing European political, economic and financial affairs. It is organized by GLOBSEC and October 2016 will bring already the fifth edition of the conference. While scrutinising the most burning economic and political EU issues of today, GLOBSEC TATRA SUMMIT incorporates a variety of perspectives and builds trust among the representatives of the EU institutions, member states’ ministries of foreign affairs, finance and economy, business leaders, think tanks and international media.

There’s nothing accidental about Annemie Turtelboom's ascent to the top of the Belgian Fashion Industry. She’s caught the eye of fashion lovers and insiders alike for her powerful, minimal aesthetic. With her command of an outfit, you’d think Annemie is a Belgian fashion industry veteran, but her chosen career is in politics.

“For me, fashion and what I wear is profoundly part of my identity. I very much believe that identity is fluid, and can change throughout your lifetime as you transact with different environments.”she says. “What I love about GOESTO is first of all, the minimalist look of the clothes, and that they’re timeless. And then when you talk to the founders, you find this amazing story about where they came from. It goes so perfectly with the women who follow Belgian fashion all over the world, who want to think about clothes.”
