THIS COLLECTION AIMS TO CHANGE THE PERSPECTIVE OF BEING IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF TODAY'S SOCIAL HIERARCHY, BRINGING A LITERAL MEANING TO ‘STREETWEAR’. EAT THE RICH, FEED THE POOR | AUTUMN WINTER 2020, AIMS TO CHANGE THE PERCEPTION THAT WE READ EACH OTHER ON THE WAY WE DRESS. THE WHOLE COLLECTION IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN WHAT MANY PEOPLE WOULD CALL THE ‘RICH’ AND THE ‘POOR’.
TAKING INSPIRATION FROM ICONIC GARMENTS WE ASSOCIATE WITH THESE WELL-KNOWN STEREOTYPES AND CREATING HYBRID OUTFITS. I AIM TO TAKE SMALL ASPECTS FROM EACH AND COMBINE THE OVERLAYERED WAY OF KEEPING WARM AND DRY FROM PEOPLE LIVING INADEQUATELY, WITH THE CLEAN AND ELEGANT TAILORING TAKING THE INSPIRATION FROM MARKET RESEARCH WHILST ALSO TAKING ELEMENTS FROM THE MILITARY AND COUNTRY WEAR THAT BOTH IDENTITY ALONGSIDE THE ROYAL FAMILY.
