About Alternative Бясгендарная калекцыя моды

Alternative — гэта бясгендарная калекцыя моды, якая складаецца з чатырнаццаці прадметаў, уключаючы вярхі, нізы і верхні адзенне. Калекцыя натхнёная старажытным унісэкс-адзеннем заходняй і ўсходняй культур, такім як грэчаскі хітон, рымская туніка, кітайскі шэн'і і тайскі джонгкрабен. Кожны прадмет выкарыстоўвае гнуткія злучэнні, матэрыялы і драпіроўку, так што пасадка можа быць адаптавана пад розныя целы. Адзенне прадстаўлена на мужчынскіх і жаночых целах. Мэта — не схаваць цела, а размыць фіксаваныя межы адзення і падтрымаць самаідэнтычнасць.
