concept
A futuristic narrative gave birth to Louise Crawford's collection. The story begins on a day called tomorrow, when everything is mass produced by machines. Even people are mass produced to be mass consumers. The Reject, a person who was produced by the machines but was then rejected when she did not follow the trends and was not a mass consumer, is Louise's muse. She lives in her own world where there is no money, no age, no fashion, no corporations, no sex, no race...She believes in shapes from everyday life, which are knitted into her garments. Besides the underlying political statement, the garments also want to focus on the beauty of being ageless, as well as on that time in life of extreme youth or old age that brings with it a quirky, carefree sense of indulgence.
