About Us
No Playbook. Just Build.
The One Farad Story
At One Farad, we believe there’s no manual for creating something that doesn’t exist yet. Builders don’t wait for permission or a perfect plan — they figure it out as they go. Every founder, maker, and creator knows this truth: the future is built, not given.
We started One Farad with that same mindset — not as a fashion brand, but as a symbol of the builder spirit. The name comes from Michael Faraday, the scientist who turned raw curiosity into discovery. A farad is a unit of energy storage. For us, it represents the capacity to hold energy, ambition, and drive — the things that power people who build.
Our mission is simple: design essentials for builders — minimalist, durable, and honest pieces that reflect the mindset of people who create the future. No trends. No noise. Just clothing that feels aligned with the way you live and work: focused, restless, independent.
We make our products in limited quantities with attention to quality and sustainability. Because building better things doesn’t stop with code, design, or hardware — it includes what we wear and how we produce it.
One Farad is for those who make their own rules, who build because they can’t imagine doing anything else. Whether you’re prototyping in your room, launching your next product, or rewriting the rules of your industry — you’re part of this energy.
Our Story
One Farad was created by Emidio, a founder who knows firsthand what it’s like to rebuild from scratch. After losing everything during the 2008 crisis, he moved from Italy to London, working for startups while building his startups on the side. Through every failure and every lesson, he realised one key thing:
Real style isn’t what you wear—it’s what you overcome.
One Farad is the clothing Emidio wished existed during those early startup days: simple, smart-looking, and genuinely comfortable menswear, purpose-built for people who never stop building.
