// This collection is purposed to inspire those who have been doubted, to become steadfast in their efforts through all areas of life. Use the doubt as motivation and prove those who have questioned you wrong. “Shadows” is meant to represent the pits that doubters will stay in as you succeed. “Mess You Made” is the phrase representing the success that has been motivated by those who don’t believe in you. Although the idea of proving someone wrong can be unhealthy, please understand it is only a motivator. We took this concept and conveyed it as a futuristic picture. Each piece was hand-made from scratch or up-cycled from previous garments. These designs have all gone through a process of concept, sketch, sample to sample, and finally the prepared garment. Fabric, zippers, buttons, grommets and thread have all been sourced to ensure we may use the remaining scraps in future projects. Beginning in the summer of 2020, “Shadows of the Mess You Made” is a concept we have had for over 2 years. We have now brought it to life. The irony behind this collection and concept, is that the doubt has already happened. We take this situation and look toward the future as to what we want to do. Hence, the idea of futurism. Step inside the mind of Futurism and Luxury Streetwear with us for C5. We have collaborated with several talented visual artists and two leading stylists to help us mold the collection together. Our modeling cast is diverse and vast this season. With the help of our team and supporting friends & family, we were able to produce our debut runway show. Collection V “Shadows of the Mess You Made” is now here.
