REVIVETHE MOODFully immersed in the Information Age, we cannot deny the advanced pro-duction processes and ingredients available to us. Yet we cannot appre-ciate the present without revisiting and respecting the past with oneera in particular inspiring: the Industrial Age. While the gap between thetwo is vast, there are similarities, the excitement and developments thatfeatured in changing society, they were just as big an issue then as theyare now.

Through REVIVE we pay homage to the turn of the 20th Century with atwist, when industrialization got into the full swing resulting in a periodof opulence through to darkness, changes that were the foundation oftoday’s developments. This is about blending tradition with modern tech-nology in creating something new, something fantastical but also withan edge. The core inspiration also appeals to the final garment designas we look to decorative details and corsetry styling. The dark side ofthis direction and the industrial aspect also contains plenty of appeal forthe menswear market as well as being able to offer a steam punk approach with a rebellious spirit for the younger consumer.
