FW16 Collection:
Biotic Form explores the human experience of gender on a
molecular level. Unconventional materials such as zip-ties are
used to represent molecular structures and chromosomes.
Although race, gender, age, sexual orientation, and
environment may separate us as a species, we are all made
of the same cosmos underneath our skin. Just as our DNA
binds together, these garments hope to bind together genders
to sell to male, female, or non-binary customers.
