COLLECTION
Throughout time, the fall and erosion of New York City have been presently shown through the character clothes hold. Whether that was in the 80s when rampant crime flooded alleyways, the 2000s engulfing Times square with immense LED screens, and a future of technological advancement further creating the dystopian city we live in today. Along with clothes and changes to the city itself, the people of the city have changed along with it ranging in different social hierarchies.
The Fall and Erosion F/W Menswear collection takes you through this time capsule of garments, exposing dystopic aspects of the city through everyday wearable items. From materiality and garment alteration, each look in this collection creates the “citizens of new york”. The order of looks in the collection is separated into three time periods each period having four looks. Starting from the 80s-90s, the 2000s, ended in an imagined futuristic society.
