THE CITY WEARS YOU
2022
Runway collection: Shoes and Bags
I had the honor of outfitting the accessories for a dear friend of mine, Logan Fluharty, for his senior thesis THE CITY WEARS YOU. Inspired by the grit of 40s film noir, this mens suiting collection played with subtle details within its extremely inventive tailoring techniques. I worked to develop footwear and handbags, scattered with blood red crystals generously donated by SWAROVSKI. The shapes are heavily inspired by 40s briefcases and file folders.
We had the concept of these gritty characters, fresh from the scene with bags of evidence spotted with blood, the sheen of patent leather refection the rain on the slick city streets.
4 pairs of shoes, two handbags, and one belt harness later, this has been by far my favorite collection to work on.
