THREADS OF DEFIANCE
2020
This collection draws inspiration from the contrast between the exuberance of the 1920s and the rebellious spirit of the late 1950s. It highlights the harmony and tension between two defining cultural movements: the elegance of the Jazz Age and the raw energy of rock ’n’ roll. Both post-war eras emerged during times of economic prosperity, granting people freedoms they had previously been denied.
Each period is also known for its playful defiance—a quality vividly expressed through fashion. The garments in this collection are designed with an awareness of the social, artistic, and cultural dynamism of the time. In the wake of profound tragedy and hardship, a sense of liberation gave rise to bold, expressive fashion—a creative rebellion against past suppression.
