Shredded cotton affixed in shirts and leggings, tie dyes, asymmetrical cuts, muted metallic fabrics and his signature stay-on tabs from soda cans. All these together might sound odd but Don's latest offering when all mixed resulted in a mishmash of textures and intelligent layering. When asked about his inspiration... "I guess I was thinking of a nomadic tribe again who went around to places and basically trying to forage clothing from here and there and inventing and cutting and mixing and creating this crazy jumble. i was feeling a mixed and match direction, like a mad military scientist experimenting and cutting things up."
Shoes provided by Gold Dot and designed by my good friend Karl Leuterio gave an androgynous kick to the collection while accessories by Bosquejo by Miguel Paolo Celestial had razor blades, knots and bolts, different materials which echoes the whole concept of cutting and then putting things together.
When I asked about the masks... "Oh, the mask was like a little inside joke because you see people wearing masks when they ride motors here [in Cambodia]. That was the Cambodian feel I wanted to inject without being too literal. And I want people to focus on the clothes and not the model's faces."
