“I’m a cliché”, a punk ballad plays in the background as models strut the runway. Military colours of army green and purple dominate the runway. It’s almost as if the models are soldiers marching from the form they walk in. While the outfits act as uniforms for these soldiers. These are some of the personalContinue reading “Givenchy Fall 2000s Ready-To-Wear Collection: McQueen’s Stylistic Rebellion”

Alexander McQueen “Golden Shower” SS 1998 R-T-W
“Golden Shower”, is a vile and erotic phrase aptly used for Alexander McQueen’s 1998 Spring/Summer collection. The title was conjured by Lee in direct response to the sponsors of the show American Express and the upcoming launch of their new Gold Card in the UK. However, it was later replaced by the title, “Untitled”, dueContinue reading “Alexander McQueen “Golden Shower” SS 1998 R-T-W”
Grails Part 2: D&G Military Flight Jacket and Pants
At this point, I intend to make this grail collection a series. Every few years it seems as though military and bondage styles and clothing become trendy again. We’re taking it back to 2003 with this collection. Dolce and Gabbana had just released their Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter collections. It was immediately caught on, the useContinue reading “Grails Part 2: D&G Military Flight Jacket and Pants”
C2H4 Los Angeles: The Future Of Humanity
C2H4 is a utilitarian streetwear brand unlike any other. I felt inclined to shed light on this brand due to its most recent campaign titled “Future City Uniform” for FW21. This retro-futuristic take is not an unpopular approach, however, I haven’t quite seen it done like this before. In this campaign, C2H4 displayed their creativeContinue reading “C2H4 Los Angeles: The Future Of Humanity”

“Highland Rape” FW 1995 Collection By Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen is a household name in fashion. When we think of McQueen we think “provocative”, “genius”, “rebellious”, “anti-establishment”. Now, there isn’t much room for successful or impactful defiance in the industry as we know it, neither is there an acceptance of the abnormal. However, Lee created it in such a way that couldn’t beContinue reading ““Highland Rape” FW 1995 Collection By Alexander McQueen”
Fast Fashion’s 6 Part Relationship With Sustainability
“Fast Fashion”, a term associated with negativity and criticism, is a structure believed to be inherently flawed. “Fast fashion is a term used to describe a highly profitable and exploitative business model based on replicating catwalk trends and high-fashion designs, mass-producing them at low cost”. The main goal is to maximize profits and minimize costs,Continue reading “Fast Fashion’s 6 Part Relationship With Sustainability”
Grails Part1: Craig Green Scuba Jacket
Craig Green’s Fall 2017 collection show left a mark on whoever attended. A seamless amalgamation of texture, tone and design. We were immersed into the depths, and yes the irony is not lost on me seeing as Craig himself stated he was thinking about the sea, and its connotations of peril, fear and isolation. Now,Continue reading “Grails Part1: Craig Green Scuba Jacket”
Discussing Subversive Basics
The rebellious reform of basics. “Subversive Basics”, a term coined in April 2021 by Agus Panzoni (thealgorythm on tiktok) in a TikTok video. In this video, she explains the change in how we use basic clothing, such as tank tops, black dresses and so on. Simple garments becoming complex pieces of clothing.
