The collection reflects on the bi-polarizing positions within society; the glamourous parties in the hills and the grungy underground ragers. Although the circumstances are different, the party will go on. Forget about the chaos in the world. Let’s live in the moment because we may not be here for a long time but we’re here for a good time and riding handsfree for the night. All materials are upcycled through vintage finds including denim jeans, evening gowns, curtains, bracelets, necklaces, and chains. This look is inspired by 80s British punk and Vivienne Westwood.
