as*phalt.2009

Taking inspiration from the industrialization of areas around Central-America, the main focus has been to capture the contrast of nature and industry. By contrasting materials, like felt and metal; skin and asphalt and working from a sub-culture that grows from the industrial society – the bike messenger - fixed gear and from the works of Banksy. The idea has been to essentialize the shape and form of the garments, removing or hiding unnecessary seems and details.
