Dynasty Threads Collection

Far East Fashion Reimagined.

We live in an era where Asian media is at an all time high. Between anime, kpop, to Thai horror movies and so much more coming out of the region, we wanted to create clothing that people could feel the same connection with. Dynasty Threads is a reimagining of if Far East into a fantasy world that isn't so different from ours. We wanted interesting and fantastical pieces that people could wear to embrace their love for Far East pop culture, but not look out of place.

I think it's really important that our clothing doesn't look like a costume. We shouldn't be embarrassed to wear things that we feel representative of who we are. I think we did an excellent job of bringing the mood and themes together to make these wonderful pieces to live in a way that it looks foreign, but in a exotic and chic way.

When it comes to culture, it was also very important to me that we not make designs and concepts that closely resemble real life traditional apparel. The clothing we designed comes from several spaces of inspiration for each piece and made with modern sensibilities of free movement and simplicity.

Although the collection is still awaiting a budget to see the first production batch, we wanted to share it with you guys.

Time and Space

Let's do it again. But different.

From space operas to dark fantasy to genres from all corners of media, the Time and Space collection was designed to celebrate the all the genres we love and put an interesting twist on all of them.

I think we live in a wonderful era of media where we start to see mainstream big budget movies start to come back to traditional black and white film styles. Even now avant garde type writing being done in literature that challenges what we think about stories, while comics have gone from magazine exclusive to having the entire industry based around digital releases. When we look in the animation space, we see tons of unexpected gems popping up from old guards and we're seeing more indie games coming from countries around the globe. All of these new ideas and old tropes seeing new twists really inspired this collection.

New Dawn is all about a giant mecha that fought in some great war but is returning to nature. Neon Nights is another great pixel piece about sci-fi cityscapes but in the old and familiar art style of pixels. I think the designs that come from Time and Space are a lot more niche, but I hope everyone is able to find a design in the collection that inspires creativity and nostalgia at the same time.

Expression Collection

A celebration of anime

We live in a time where entire generations worldwide have grown up around anime. From video games to novels, the world feels the effect of Japanese pop culture and we're here to celebrate that.

We wanted these designs to be about how we grew up with anime, but also about how we use anime as a way to express ourselves, and by extension also use Japanese pop culture to help identify who we are. In the collection you'll find beautiful designs that have strong symbolism in Japan and throughout Asia. "Resilience" for example is about the robust and fate defying plant that we call the lotus. A lotus has long and deep roots and is known to survive and bloom in harsh water conditions. We wanted the design to be bold and beautiful, and like the lotus, not hide what we are. In the rest of the collection there are more lighthearted themes of love, and more interesting pieces meant to inspire creativity.

Either way, I hope these designs are able to resonate with you, our audience.

Modern Fantasy

Let's reimagine

The Modern Fantasy collection is all about reimagining old fantasy themes and stories and bringing them into our modern world. We spent our lives fascinated by the world of Harry Potter, Scary Godmother, Percy Jackon, W.I.T.C.H, and other media pieces that brought old ideas back into our familiar world.

Modern Fantasy is meant to capture those old ideas we love and put them into wearable designs. We wanted people to feel inspired by these reimagined designs and feel proud to be humans that embrace the old and new.

Unfortunately for the collection though, a significant budget was spent on it, however hurdles constantly presented themselves when trying to put all the pieces together. It was really hard to get all the designers on board with the same moods and ideas, and it was one of my first collections. I didn't have a lot of experience with interacting with international designers and the brand story was still coming together. I really wanted to pull through with the collection, but the final nail in the coffin was when it became riddled with copyright issues. For now, Modern Fantasy has only one piece in the entire collection.

Although it's sad to see the collection in this state, Dynasty Threads is sort of the daughter collection of this one. Dynasty Threads is inspired by Modern Fantasy to create custom cut and sew clothing that are based around a fantastical Asian element being brought into a modern light.

Yes this implies that in the future there will probably a collection based around the same idea has Dynasty threads but from different regions of the world.
