Daryl Tejano 'Ablepo' Fall/Winter 21-22 collection is based on the concept of self-blindness. He describes self-blindness as below: Have you ever experienced waking up in the morning feeling nothing or having zero sights? Imagine the world without sight or vision. Life will be dull and Grey. This is why I would like to raise up awareness of a person's psychological states "self blindness". ​Self-blindness is supposed to be correlated to "colour blindness". A person who is colour blind can learn information's about colour in a most non-standard way. A person who is self-blind can learn about, her own beliefs, desires and intentions in a nonstandard way. Things are different in my own state. I do not normally have to make observations in order to know what I am thinking or feeling. It's just that, I am more silent on my feelings. I am afraid to communicate such emotions. I often disagree with my emotions or feelings to be felt in some circumstances. ​Unique pieces exuding modernity and classic style stand out against a neutral palette of grey and black. The modern uncomplicated forms perfectly highlight the sculptured textile tailoring. Strong and heavy fabrics manage the further showcase the collection classics yet functional appeal. Asymmetric coats and sleek blazers demonstrate the complex yet clean tailoring featuring throughout the collection. The tailoring beautifully enhances the body whilst exaggerating key areas such as the shoulder and hip and is set back against long-lean legs. Architecturally inspired shapes showcasing understated glamour.  CRESZN PANTASTICO 'SAEVUM FUTURUM' F/W 21-22 COLLECTION: Stylish, unique fashion brand 'CRESZN PANTASTICO' have uncovered an avant-garde collection based on the concept of ‘cyberpunk’ and ‘dystopia’.

Watch the exclusive premiere of DARKM0TH INDUSTRY AVANT-GARDE Spring-Summer 2021 COLLECTION at THAILAND FASHION WEEK 2020 - Powered by ASTON MARTIN | BANGKOK in association with DE MODE. The SSS21 collection of Darkm0th Industry focuses on​ ​our collective future. Utilizing the philosophy of deconstructionism through their modular, structural designs; Darkm0th Industry garments take their newest and most veracious form each and every time they encapsulate a new human. Using ethically sourced, natural, repurposed and sometimes unconventional materials, the incredibly wide variety of wearability with these garments is unmatched. Darkm0th Industry defines sustainability in this way; more wearability in more ways, equal less output and more usability for more people. Striving for more positive impact with less harmful imprint, Darkm0th Industry promises a lifetime of usability and wears with programs such as the lifetime repair program and the garment repurposing program which adds to our zero-waste, small business hivemind. You can learn more about these programs through https://www.darkm0thindustry.com/ Presented at the first-ever DIGITAL season of THAILAND FASHION WEEK for the virtual runway show experience, Darkm0th Industry presents to you, their Avant-Garde 2021 Collection, SS21, with love from Darkm0th to you, because nothing is more punk than creating a symbiosis within our human existence. Resistance? Is never futile. Darkm0th Industry strives to dispose of fast fashion while educating about the harms of the harsh chemicals and malpractices of the fashion industry that we all love and are inspired by and are required to participate in daily. A streetwear flare with minimal and yet avant-garde, dark-aesthetic; the post-industrial nature of Darkm0th’s patterning brings us back to the industrial area of garments - while we simply cannot help but wonder and gaze at the glimpse of our futures here on earth, an existence that has surely become strange in the 2020 era. But, looking into the future without addressing our current reality seems like a false dystopian promise riddled with derivative aesthetics; harming the planet and reeking of exclusion and binary. There is NO future until we view the w0rld through the deconstructive lens, changing reactive inaction into heartfelt pr0mise of a realistic and symbiotic plan of attack. Future: an exciting and scary endeavour - - not just an aesthetic taking you out of your current emotional state. Craving dystopia seems a popularized and indolent view, in which humans won’t get to enjoy what we have produced. The subsequent years ahead of us will remain unknown unless we actively perceive, question and actualize a better, less toxic vision of a romanticized-story tale of impending, idyllic and a prophetic tomorrow. Darkm0th Industry vows to continuously be wary of the uncountable ways in which we affect our future planet and the people who create it. Gender is not something we cater to, a shape is a shape, as a tunic is a human being. WORDS FROM THE DESIGNER & FOUNDER OF DARKM0TH INDUSTRY: I'm Shayna Ariel designer, seamstress, creator and Owner of Darkm0th Industry. Thank you so much for joining me in my quest for love. I get to create a little glimpse of how I hope to love forward with my time here on earth, and I appreciate you taking the time to listen. With genderless, conceptual and modular/structural designs in a waste-free, sustainable small studio, Darkm0th Industry promises to provide clothing for everybody that enjoys deconstructing their reality.
