THE AScFW20::PERMANENT//IMPERMANENCE.

DURING THE STAY IN PLACE ORDER THIS YEAR, I HAD SOME TIME TO RECONSIDER THE INDIVIDUAL IMPACT WE EACH HAVE ON THIS WORLD. WE HAVE EACH BEEN ASKED TO DO OUR PART, TO WEAR A MASK, TO STAY AT HOME AND DISTANCE OUR INTERACTIONS, TO LOOK OUT FOR OUR FELLOW HUMAN. BECAUSE OUR ACTIONS MATTER.

IT LEAD ME TO CONTEMPLATING THIS IDEA AROUND PERMANENT//IMPERMANENCE:: THE LASTING IMPACTS OF MOMENTARY CHOICES. THE EXPANDING RIPPLE OF A LOVING ACT TO A MORTAL LIFE. THE PERMANENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE VS THE IMPERMANENCE OF OUR DAILY WASTEFUL ACTS. IT MAKES THESE DAILY, FLEETING DECISIONS TRULY VALUABLE FOR THE LASTING IMPACT THEY MAY LEAVE. THERE IS POWER TO LEAVE A REAL, LASTING IMPRESSION IN THE DAILY, AND SOMETIMES MUNDANE, DECISIONS WE MAKE AS INDIVIDUALS.

.. .. .. .. ..

SPENDING MORE TIME AWAY FROM THE CITY THIS YEAR, I HAVE A RENEWED APPRECIATION FOR NATURE AS AN INSPIRATION FOR COLOR AND SHAPE. I CONTEMPLATED FREQUENCY OF THE GOLDEN RATIO IN FORM AND FIGURE, THINKING ABOUT THE BEAUTY AND SYMMETRY THAT CONNECTS US.

WE ALWAYS FOCUS ON SEASONLESS SILHOUETTES::PIECES THAT CAN BE WORN YEAR-ROUND, CREATING A LESS-WASTEFUL, MORE VERSATILE WARDROBE. THIS FALL COLLECTION EMBRACES THE EASE OF WARDROBE STAPLES, ELEVATING THOSE WEARABLE SILHOUETTES INTO SOMETHING THAT IS EFFORTLESSLY COOL AND OBVIOUSLY ZOOM-FRIENDLY. AND FOR THOSE TIMES THAT YOU ARE OUT, CUE THE MATCHING FACE MASK. WE WANTED IT TO BE REALLY EASY TO FEEL LIKE YOURSELF IN EVERY ONE OF THESE PIECES, BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ON OUR PLATES RIGHT NOW.
