Bethany Williams SS21

September 24, 2020

Bethany Williams collaborates with Magpie Project, a London based charity that works with children and mothers who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, for her SS21 collection, “All Our Children.”

Featuring the children and women that the collection is inspired by, the clothing features patterns and prints that were created by the children in drawing workshops as the final textiles. “All Our Children” focuses upon the topics of sustainability and social initiatives, with patchwork pieces made of deadstock jerseys donated by Adidas, corsetry in collaboration with Welsh designer Rosie Evans made with boning from fruit packaging waste, and bags in collaboration with Tottenham-based specialist Stevan Saville made out of book waste.

The collection includes a bag that’s a hybrid of a reading wallet and a book, coming in three sizes: mini dictionary, novel, and encyclopedia. There's also a childhood lunchbox-inspired bag, tailored separates, and colorful jerseys—proving this collection's purpose of focusing on the culture and art. "All of Our Children" is a true testament for the new generation.

Art School SS21

September 24, 2020

Art School’s SS21 collection focuses on a cast of models as the reflection, extension, and examination of their own history, while also celebrating the beauty of the body in the process.

This collection stages the constant journey of becoming, while being presented in three color parts: green, grey, and black. Featuring tailored oversized coats, slashed silk dresses, suiting, and pencil skirts, the collection juxtaposes sharp tailoring against billowing silhouettes. With leather made from reconstituted cow hide and vegetable dye, sustainability is on the brand’s mind. Art School collaborated with Richard Porter to create the jewelry for the show, employing fossilized toys as accessories to reference themes of preservation and memory.

Emphasizing the importance and restriction of movement and physical space, these gender-neutral garments were created with the idea of protection in mind. With the way that the world is going, who couldn’t use a little more protection?

The Tennis Gods

The collection calls upon the imagery and feeling characteristic of the brand’s beginnings. Tacchini subverts classic 1960's professional tennis looks by allowing UK and NYC hip-hop and street style to bleed into it.
