In a press release, he justifies this rather pessimistic choice: " idealizing damnation is a classic way of facing fear and uncertainty.  From his workshop, the American presents a video filmed from afar in the middle of a fitting session, like by two surveillance cameras. Against a background of hard-core techno, we note that he continues to push his signature androgynous silhouette, but also his work, started during his last fashion show, around the sleeves, and the shoulder of his jackets. These are torn, leaving holes, or, on the contrary, appear as excessive, accentuating the build of the only model.

And for those who limit the Californian to his use of black, the surprise arrives by touches. On boots and a tank top, a little color, with pink. On jackets, sequins. On pants with the air of tracksuit, a checkered pattern, posed on a yellow background. The materials are references to the brand's past, like these leather patches made of a material already used by the creator's first collection, or turned towards its future, like recycled plastic, which dresses coats.
