The Cheap Monday Spring Summer 2014 collection takes its inspiration from the idea of haughtiness and inflated egos, with a clear street look that speaks to the value of narcissism.
With exaggerated silhouettes, narcissistic graphics and using indomitable seasonal colors like black, white and gray, the collection carries an in-your-face aesthetic that carries gravitas. The unglamorous yet bold look, derived from the work of 90s artists, gives the Cheap Monday Spring Summer 2014 collection an uncaring, snappy look for those seeking to attract attention. While some of the collection’s garments feature some baggier styles mixed in with slim fit jeans, some of the slogans featured on the collection, such as the words, "THE END" emblazoned across a gray sweater are thematic of the kick-ass attitude that the collection fosters.
