The context of my work began with a mutual understanding between my closest friends and I: that the expectations cast upon us as young men and socially-upheld ideas of what it meant to be a man were not a true reflection of our identities. Put simply: reject expectations, and accept your own outcomes. I began developing a series of garments that would unpick the construct of hegemonic masculinity. The collection subverts hegemonic masculinity through the decoding of archetypal, traditional menswear. These constructions appoint the wearer as an integral element to the self perceptions of identity and manhood.
