SS15/16 URBAN WARRIORS
Urban Warriors representing the next generation of street warriors spreading the message of change and creating awareness through expression of art, music or fashion. Ethics remembered through the old ways. The connection between our creative spirit and culture has led to a fusion of art and textile in this upcoming collection.

Forever we strive to change and challenge modern society’s perception of Indigenous people, Indigenous fashion and sustainable fashion by creating an ethical upcycled collection.

Our vision was to create a range using only local organic fabrics and sustainable process by upcycling dead stock denim. By establishing a dead stock partnership with Australian label – Nobody Denim we maintain high quality and craftsmanship.

The design is influenced by “splattered paint” a contemporary version and representation of warrior paint. Urban Warriors explores a new perspective of racism and oppression we’ve face as a younger generation, as the next generation of leaders we must always respect our ancestors by remembering our past, educating the present and embracing our future.

We represent the emerging generation and We are the Urban Warriors.
