It’s summertime that time of the year which means bright sunshine and holidays to foreign climbs yet this year it’s more of a stay at home kind of vibe going on. So if it’s a staycation or you are lucky enough to get to a different country from home then what will you wear? From loose layers to flitty florals from SS20 to Cruise 20 and even pre-autumn winter 2020 collections, there is no time like now to start that seasonal shopping even if you end up wearing your glaring light clothes in your own back yard. It’s all this month about louche and light airy and fairy. Enjoy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis idea of looking at how do we take things that we no longer want and reposition them. How can we make the things we create today actually last for a long time?\u201d<\/em> – JW.Anderson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo me, it\u2019s about a kind of strength. Being proud of being nice and kind. It\u2019s something that I value now,\u201d – \u201cI don\u2019t know if that makes sense visually, but it\u2019s what I\u2019ve been thinking about.<\/em>\u201d – Julien Dossena<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I considered how I might create an ambience of not prioritizing productivity within a world that does. I think, for example, of Francis Alys’ performance *Sometimes Making Something Leads to Nothing *(1997)<\/em> – Says the brand, explaining the goal is not to priorities productivity – instead, looking at how to make fashion productive’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
