Lucid Dreaming with Renowned

September 19, 2021

Los Angeles-based label Renowned has dreamed up a stunning streetwear concept in their newest Fall/Winter 2021 collection titled "Beyond Lucid." The concept comes from the mind of the streetwear label's founder and creative director, John Dean, who draws inspiration from his childhood aspirations to take flight in lucid dreams. The collection serves as a manifestation of these dreams that can be worn from day to night, bringing them closer into the realm of conscious reality.

The designs effortlessly reflect the desire to access dormant parts of the mind as one needs to in order to lucid dream. With sophisticated cuts and a beautifully muted color palette, Dean captures the breathtaking simplicity of night-time and energizes it for day-round streetwear utility. A highlight of the pieces is the "wavy-cut" used to symbolize the increasingly blurred lines between dreams and reality that occurs through lucid dreams.
