freak!

Fashion – Detroit

Understanding the relationship between bodies and visual interpretation in my culture is critical for fashion to be recognized. I take advantage of this by creating clothes that alert the senses. The punk energy and brutal street aesthetic alerts the socialized mind while the brand name elicits assumptions and discomfort in viewers. freak! is an identity and it is a spectrum. Anyone can wear freak! because no matter the amount in which we try to fit into socialized norms we find ourselves outside of it. Humans are flavorful and I'm creating clothing that gives you a taste of that. Through reconstructing, repurposing, and up-cycling, freak! brings together opposing materials and contexts to put social normalities on it's head.
