Jordan Harris

[Re]construct

Jordan was influenced by Vetta's 5-piece capsule wardrobe, with designs that can be mixed and matched to create 30 different outfits as well as Jimmy D's genderless and often transformable designs. The collection incorporates hidden button wraps to create detachable pieces allowing styling options. A coat with a detachable sleeve; trousers that can be altered in length; a shirt with removable sleeve panels and a wrap dress that buttons into a vest. The wearer can style these clothes in their own way, normalising modular style while challenging fast fashion. Jordan wanted to rework androgynous fashion’s lack of individualisation and produce a collection that enabled the wearer autonomy in their androgynous dress through the incorporation of convertible techniques to alter style and fit.
