Greg Lauren’s eponymous collection of men’s and womenswear is made entirely from upcycled materials. With a focus on decommissioned military textiles such as US army tents, he also works with cub scout uniforms, blankets, denim and parachutes. The wrapped, twisted, torn and patched collection has a Mad Max meets global nomad vibe, each item expertly tailored and pieced, and each by default entirely unique. Working with iconic American materials, his aesthetic is never the less more reminiscent of a European sensibility, referencing the likes of Ann Demeulemeester and the Atwerp Six. Vintage and futuristic nihilistic theme’s run through each collection, with shoeshine and paperboy’s from turn of the century, urban warriors, and futuristic heroes and underdogs. Color palettes are dictated by the nature of the materials, with military green and indigo denim blue dominating, with black, earth and flashes of brilliant orange and white acting as striking flashes of color.
