Archaeological Menswear

Graham Tabor's Fragmented Fashion Collection for S/S '09

New York-based fashion designer Graham Tabor describes his S/S '09 collection as similar to an archaeological dig. Each of his fashion items is fragmented and separate from the rest of the collection.

The clothes have a strange deconstructed look which bears references to ancient warriors. Hairstyles that are intertwined with the garments create a whole universe of tribal textures, and men's fashion becomes a mask through which its wearer can express sacred rituals.

I am looking forward to seeing the progress of Graham Tabor as a fashion designer.
