(02)The Story

From vintageto vision.

  1. 01—42PLUG

    The Beginning

    The journey started in vintage and secondhand fashion. Colin independently built 42PLUG, a fashion resale and e-commerce business.

    Running it meant learning every side of the trade — clothing and product, e-commerce, brand building, marketing, customer experience, logistics and day-to-day operations.

  2. 02—A new perspective

    The Transition

    Working with clothing every day shaped a perspective of its own. Over time, the ambition moved beyond selling pieces designed by others.

    The goal became something independent: original designs, its own products, and a visual identity built from the ground up.

  3. 03—SORVEA, 2025

    The Creation

    In 2025, Colin independently founded SORVEA — a Swiss fashion brand combining contemporary streetwear influences with refined, elegant aesthetics.

    As Founder & Creative Director, he shapes the brand's visual direction, product concepts and creative identity.

  4. 04—Today

    The Vision

    Today, SORVEA is Colin's primary focus and his long-term creative and entrepreneurial ambition. 42PLUG continues to operate in the background.

    The work now is building SORVEA into a cohesive, independent fashion brand — one considered decision at a time.

(06)Philosophy

The way I think.

  1. 01

    Independence

    Building on my own terms, with a vision that doesn't depend on permission.

  2. 02

    Long-term thinking

    Decisions made for where the brand should be in years, not weeks.

  3. 03

    Creativity

    Treating every product, image and word as part of the same idea.

  4. 04

    Detail

    The small decisions are the ones people feel, even when they can't name them.

  5. 05

    Improvement

    Every product, every image, every process — a little better than the last.

  6. 06

    From the ground up

    Learning each part of the work by doing it, one step at a time.
