“Defiant” is a multi-artistic expression of ideas between
craftsmanship, interests, culture, and visual presentation
of norms and breaking barriers of societal archetype
uniforms. “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
As children, our dreams and aspirations are personified
by archetypes: the doctor, the lawyer, the banker, the
accountant, the politician. Familiar characters in everyday
society, they are inseparably defined by uniforms: the
dress code we associate with professions, lifestyle, and
knowledge.
This collection investigates the nuance of uniforms with a futuristic twist to
silhouettes against the unconscious bias instilled in our collective psyche by
the archaic norms of society. Inspiration is derived from Ghanaian culture on
visual conception of a career persona, against Italian elegance through the
aesthetic appeal of Dante Alighieri, a poet, writer, and philosopher.
The collection also interprets personal taste to elegance in our modern
workwear uniforms, with softness within strength, minimalism with impact,
and utility fused with elegance influence by texture, architecture, sculpture,
and poetic restraints through blending futuristic shapes with military tailoring,
functionality with Made in Italy craftsmanship.
