ISO.POETISM by Tobias Birk Nielsen showcases its latest collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2023 season entitled IMPORTRIAL MONOLITHS. The new looks took on the runways of Copenhagen Fashion Week and it all embodies a utilitarian design language as per usual.
This time, the brand highlights the story of a sculptor and his connection with the craft, as told by creative director Tobias Birk Nielsen. It centers on technical fashion designs and tells the narrative of "battling imposter syndrome to showcase his love for sculpting, the story details the reality of creation as a way of combating doubt. Bringing this story to life are polyester jackets and matching cargo pants, vests, sweatshirts, shorts, dresses, vests, and more with technical-focused fabrications."
