There were hippies and disco, Jackie Kennedy and Madonna, “Miami Vice” and “Friends”. All decade defining icons. We know them today because they live among us. Through social media, streaming services, and the internet, history is at our fingertips.
There is an admiration to the past in terms of clothing, art and style that is undeniable. Magazines are imitating old graphics, designers are taking steps back and paying ode to original fashions, photo filters are being created to make a post look “retro”. When you walk down the street, most twenty-somethings are wearing their parents' clothes or shopping at a thrift store.
This obsession with the past is the basis of this collection, combining graphic design, fashion and photography into one final product.
For each photograph, a garment was hand-painted with decade specific graphic elements, and photographed imitating iconic fashion photography from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s.
