concept

A collection to slip into and feel powerful, fit, built and as strong as the clothes being worn. Brais developed a language that stages opposition, linking the binary through desire. A new, melted masculinity, smoothing its sharpness into a place where love can gather and become truly a collective creation and pleasure. Seeking to create a uniform for the “powerful and revolutionary human”, who is capable of being a part of change, ready to fight for the love revolution. It is a “masculine” menswear collection made in the most un-masculine way to create a new identity.
