Clean tailoring, contemporary cuts, cool tones, and sleek chic at its most glorious. The simple, less-is-more style of the minimalist trend can sometimes be a breath of fresh air in a room filled with overwhelming prints and patterns.
As simple as it is effortless, these basics give off an ultra-luxe edge that hints at sartorial perfection. There’s no denying it: the minimalist trend is in and not going away anytime soon, and we love it! What’s even better is that we now have minimalist-inspired womenswear label, SLATE by TACT, at our fingertips – at affordable prices no less.

Founded by our very own Clozette Ambassador, Agnes Low, SLATE by TACT officially launched in October last year, featuring an off-shoulder peplum top and side slit midi skirt ensemble as its key debut look. So keep reading below as we speak to Agnes about her design aesthetics and how she stays constantly inspired collection after collection!

You used to run a digital retail store and took a break for a while. Why did you decide to come back to take on this challenge again?
It was a heart-breaking decision the last time when I decided to stop [its operations] due to some health issues and personal reasons. There was already a customer base and letting it all go was not easy for me.
It all began with simple OOTD shots on my Instagram account. I realised that people are asking me about where I get my clothes a lot, and telling me how much they appreciate my sense of style. That's when I thought: "Hey, why not try setting up a DRS again and see how it goes?" I decided to start it up again this time with a different style/outlook with the help of my husband and a close friend from Hongkong. So that's how it all started, again.
