TH E M A RGIN COLLECT IO N SS/ / 1 6 Where there is difference there is identity, and where there is identity there is difference. The Margin collection is part of a journey to unity. Embracing the Dionysaic aspects of life, “reaching out beyond personality, everyday life, society, reality, across the abyss of transience.” Capturing the tension of otherness, and allowing us to disrupt the structures built to set us apart. In addition, the Margin collection aims to question the binary oppositions created by cultures to simplify reality. Therefore, the collection chooses to embrace otherness. What we choose to wear is how we express everything without communicating anything at all — so what do you choose to say ? In coherence with this collection, as artist and designer, we look to come together as creatives. Cultivating a brand, collection, and experience that will synthesize the lines of art and design. Formally, the collection is inspired by traditional Japanese and Egyptian wear. These styles have long forms that obscure, but embrace the movement of the body. To juxtapose the traditional organic aspects of the collection there are garments cut geometrically. This geometrism also brings modernity to the collection. Bold graphic elements line the outside of the clothing while the geometric form of each work universalizes the figure. — Myles Thompson & Luis Lorenzo Gonzalez

T H E M AT E R I A L S HANDMADE / DESIGN FOCUSED The Margin collection is specifically designed and crafted to fit the concept of the collection. Cotton and Linen are the primary fabrics in the collection due to their high usability and functionality. In addition, their utilitarian past connects to the concept of the collection. Types of fabrics were chosen that are breathable for the spring and summer seasons, but also light enough to layered. This allows the garments to last into the fall and winter months functioning as extra layers due their extreme length or crop.

— LIN E N / A V E R S AT I L E FA B R I C WITH AN “EQUAL” ESSENCE
Linen speaks to the margin collection due to its past history of being worn by everyone in ancient Egypt regardless of their class or sex. All males females and everyone in between had the opportunity to wear a linen garment. This light material also allows air flow, keeping one cool for the spring and summer seasons. Even when the body is sweating the fiber will be able to absorb about 20 percent of it weight is moisture be for it feels damp.
