Tourne De Transmission introduces its latest Fall/Winter 2019 collection entitled the 'Blank Tapes Vol. 2.' The seasonal capsule explores themes that highlight digitalization in the modern society. Specifically, the brand highlights "humanity’s circular obsession with writing over historic data without learning or taking lessons from it."
The fashion label unveils the concept of blank tapes as a way of exploring the concept that the modern world is currently erasing the idea of items such as 80s cassettes. Throughout the entire capsule, there are references to these cassettes from the previous eras across reworked graphic visuals. The tee, 'Grequencyt Gilet' and hoodie feature a detachable pocket at the chest that is designed to store and showcase the cassette. Additionally, the capsule also features some denim designs that recall the recording effect that tape over itself on the device.
