The sharing of secrets is truly an art form that can alleviate stress, especially when it is anonymous and there is minimal risk of retaliation. New York City-based contemporary fashion label TAP TO EDIT embraces this in its latest unisex collection which was released on January 16th.
The stylish capsule attempts to involve the public through the sharing of secrets in the medium of fashion. Individuals wrote anonymous letters to the brand with thoughts and statements that brought discomfort and anxiety. From 'I have returned the ring that I bought for her,' to 'People still judge me based on my skin color,' the exercise is purely cathartic. TAP TO EDIT took these secrets and randomly placed them in the tags of the unisex offering, giving the clothing an ethereal meaning.
