IN [A] WOLFSKIN

The presented collection starts from the duality often seen within the archetypal antagonist, the kind of antagonist whose actions and characteristics are justified throughout the course of their life. Reflecting the complexity of life itself, each individual represents their own unique universe of personalized context, never being displayed in their full complexity.

As a result of that the materials chosen were distorted, deconstructed, and reengineered promoting a rustic yet artisanal aspect. Working exclusively with natural fibers and heavyweight denims is of importance within the process of developing the desired affection, as well as the colour scheme reflecting a dark and gritty ambient. This allows to narrate a universe in which each and every one has the opportunity to participate.
