Matthew’s AW18 collection is a story about militant youth brigades rising up to reclaim consent.
Black. Flag. Olive. Chrome. Utilitarian. Function. Form. Formal. Militant. Uniform. Disenchanted. Anti-you. Brigade. Consent. Salacious. Romance. Lascivious. Riot. Sex.
Matthew and American sports heritage brand K Swiss teamed up using the love of music to showcase the new range for the autumn and winter seasons. Mixing and celebrating the old with the new using the K Swiss Classics creates the perfect match.
This was no ordinary show. The event marked a shift away from Matthew’s usual fashion showcases by moving away from the catwalk shows and presentations to put on live music performances from musical talents: Ekeno, Whiteroom and Strange Cages. The performers all wore his new creations as they entertained fashion industry insiders. The theme for the night was “Riot”. Working together through connecting heritage with culture, it was wonderful to watch.
Make-up led by Michelle Webb for AOFMPRO.
