Tradition, Craft and Mature Ingenuity: HERSKIND SS24

Self-referential garments? Sure, but who can blame them when their Scandi counterparts are having a penchant for pulling back all manner of fuss? So here we are, yet again, with a quietly-potent slew of proposals that stand as a testament to HERSKIND’s unwavering commitment to provide compelling clothes that transcend trends, which don’t feel overwrought; rather, their ease allows the wearer to express - and embrace - the very core silhouette. The label had a neutral Spring in mind, working in subdued colors like off white, beige, and a rich gray. Delicate volumes were present, too, with accents of baby yellow and soft peony adding a subtle hint of playfulness and femininity to the slouchy blazers, along with an exaggerated sharp shoulder with a sporty edge to match. HERSKIND’s spring outing introduces leather pieces that epitomize the heroes of the collection, addressing attention with their bold yet refined resonance across the lineup while sprinkling a grown-up, to-the-point edge that was covetable and wearable in equal measure.

Hopefully, the expansion of classics continues as the brand continues to build a laid-back adage, bringing the zeitgeist into silhouettes a customer can never tire of.

Perfection is the recipe for disaster for a lot of us. You will always fail in the pursuit of perfect... but the journey is fun. - Kevin Ponce

Everyone finds zen in their work in a different way. It's a really important part, having something in your work that feels good despite what else is going on. Once you put yourself into that state of flow, a lot comes out. -Martine Ali

A lot of the time we have narratives of people, what we think they are going to be like, or a certain perception of them. For them to blow away all of those things is incredibly cool. That's my main objective and the whole point of writing, to keep the narrative going, to keep cultural criticism going, to keep history going. - Kerane Marcellus
