concept

This collection delved further into research Seksarit's conducted on travellers, during his fashion design course. He was inspired by those young kids leaving home to follow their free spirit and to find themselves through travelling. Pockets stuffed with belongings, a bindle (knotted napkin sack on a stick) and things dangling around in an untidy fashion wherever they go. A feeling of freedom, to wander off on their own path. The outfits describe a boyish look, obtained playful inserts in men’s clothes and transforming untidiness into an actual feature. The mood is elegant but down to earth, casual but not too laid back and not too serious.
