Narrative-based fashion label Professor. E recently introduced its latest collection for the Spring/Summer 2018 season entitled 'WIRE.' The newest series from the Taiwanese label travels back in time to the 19th century to focus on an era that surrounded itself around scientific concepts as a guide of discovery. The designers plan to reimagine the idea of that certain time into a tangible principle of design. The new capsule aims to exude a sense of discovering through the fashion pieces, especially the incorporation of its materials.
The items see the label's signature cotton raw edge details, linen, artistic sensibilities, material blends, and silkscreen printing. The accessories selection are constructed from repurposed electronic cables and parts -- this references the aforementioned time period in a sense where mechanical progression defines the correlation between time, life, and space. The new collection is now available to shop online at Professor. E.
