OPPOSITE WORLDS : Mixes two cultures to create a new, third culture

Both Asian and North American cultures from 600-1000 A.D. are fused in this SS18 collection. The result is a modern, innovative man that wants to break with tradition. It is the aesthetic of the samurais, ninjas, and indigenous warriors. The belief in a superior force, their spiritual rituals, and occultism are similar among both cultures and the starting point for this collection. Each garment has its own story and message within the collection; it is transmitted through the fabric combination, cut, or graphic symbols made through fabric manipulation and other techniques. Such as the harnesses that appear in the collection are an interpretation of dream catchers used by the Native Americans and the ribbing on a leather jacket refers to a 12th-century Heian armor.
