Chapter 8: The Turn of The Screw

Election years in America have long been a harbinger of upheaval. Political turmoil, wars, protests, pandemics, economic instability, and even attempted assassinations-the sheer scale of societal unrest is a sobering reflection of our times. Against this backdrop, fashion and culture have always served as a mirror to the chaos, channeling turbulence into artful expression.

Enter the punk movement: a defiant, electrifying subculture that thrives on rebellion and revels in the beauty of disorder. Its signature aesthetic— distressed fabrics, jagged silhouettes, and unapologetically raw energy— feels as relevant today as it did in its anarchic heyday. For a generation of youth increasingly attuned to socio-political activism, punk resonates not just as a style but as a statement. It's a sartorial manifesto that champions individuality, resistance, and the power of speaking out.

This season, we see these themes brought vividly to life in Turn of the Screw, a collection that reimagines punk through a bold, contemporary lens. Inspired by the subculture's rebellious ethos, the designs intertwine edgy silhouettes with the elegance of Japanese storytelling, paying homage to the Black diaspora and the burgeoning Black punk movement.

The result is a narrative-rich exploration of identity, self-expression, and the art of defiance-perfectly timed for an era defined by transformation. In fashion, as in life, chaos is not just a challenge; it's a catalyst. And this collection proves that from upheaval can emerge something strikingly, powerfully beautiful.
