L.O.T.S.: Left On The Streets
Contrary to initial impressions for this concept, this is not a concept for an upcycled collection. The concept aims to strike a conversation between men and the way they view themselves, their clothes, and their relationships. More to the concept; it also aims to make the collection sustainable by means of inheriting the garments. Keeping the collection timeless will be key in achieving this purpose. Approaching the collection concept with individuality, continuity, and longevity in mind, the collection is urged to focus on looks that elevate men’s streetwear while holding individuality on a pedestal. Throughout the decades, menswear has been linear in their styles with exceptions coming from different subcultures that disrupt the linear attitude menswear has. In recent times we see that more men are starting to embrace the disruption of linearity which opens more doors for style experimentation.
