Children of the discordance recently unveiled a look at its collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2021 season and it is full of bold looks for the coming year. The brand highlights archival patterning and names the seasonal collection 'The Protect Archives II.' The collection nods to the brand's nine year heritage and revives some familiar silhouettes for the season.
The inspiration is rooted in the construction with a spotlight on the fabrication and silhouettes that are somewhat referencing the elements of deconstruction. This is translated through intricate details including the frayed ends, fringes, and liners that are exposed to give off some layered visuals. There are also patchwork that adorn the apparel for exposed and rough design aesthetics to contribute to the overarching language.
