Abandonment is the state pf mind in this phase, ways to express the outrage and the cry of the people. Restraints and restrictions and distress represents this. Heavy leathers appeared worn and beat. Accessorized with buckles and weighted metals, forming shackles in an appealing way. Tints of blues and greens express the decay, chipped paint from an abandoned building or something molded and forgotten about.
