THIS COLLECTION EMBARKS ON AN INTIMATE EXPLORATION OF ONE'S JOURNEY TO DISCOVER 'SAFE SPACES' WITHIN THE REALMS OF OUTSIDER COMMUNITIES. DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM BERLIN'S ANTI-BOURGEOIS, FETISH, AND TECHNO SUBCULTURE OF THE 1970S—A CULTURAL VEIN THAT REMAINS VIBRANT TO THIS DAY— IT CELEBRATES THESE 'SAFE SPACES' THAT WELCOME THOSE WHO APPRECIATE ITS UNIQUE ENERGY AND DIVERSITY. THIS CELEBRATION OF INCLUSIVITY IS MIRRORED IN THE BRAND'S PHILOSOPHY OF FASHIONING GARMENTS INTENDED TO BE WORN BY ALL, IRRESPECTIVE OF GENDER OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

 

THE PRIMARY SCULPTURAL INFLUENCES OF THE COLLECTION ARE DERIVED FROM THE CREATIVE MINDS OF BARBARA HEPWORTH AND REBECCA HORN. HORN, IN PARTICULAR, DELVED DEEPER INTO THE EXPLORATION AND CONCEPTUALIZATION OF 'SAFE SPACE'—A CONCEPT THAT WE CONTINUALLY IDENTIFY WITH AND EXPLORE IN OUR WORK.

 

IN A SUBVERSIVE MOVE AGAINST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENTS AND TRADITIONAL CLOTHING NORMS, THIS COLLECTION COMBINES ELEMENTS OF FORMAL AND SPORTSWEAR WITH SCULPTURAL FORMS. IT SIMULTANEOUSLY CREATES GARMENTS AND REVAMPING EXISTING ONES UTIILISING AN ECLECTIC MIX OF FOUND MATERIALS AND INDUSTRIAL HARDWARE.
