JUST ANOTHER DAY

Inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Just Another Day pursues the modern-day love story while discovering the angst and transition from sublime happiness to anarchy and undoing. Just Another Day was created with dead-stock fabrications, embroidery and hand quilting, hand painted aesthetics, and digital prints. Principles of harmony, shape and contrast of colour, baggy-tailoring and a hint of utilitarian streetwear are married with silks and cottons. Drawing elements from 1900s Korea with this nonchalant display of wit, this collection incorporates avant-garde streetwear while exploring the death of the fashion archetype.
