Fashion label Rowing Blazers introduces the latest The Joy of (Not) Fitting In lookbook in time for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The latest capsule highlights traditional construction, elevating it through a colorful palette with captivating hues.
The range also follows through with an inclusive perspective, stating that "from childhood, we’re programmed to fit in with one tribe or another: jocks, nerds, preps, [...] Then at some point, hopefully, you reject these labels and stop trying to be a cookie-cutter person – and you take the time to learn about some of the cool things from all these worlds" Rowing Blazers works towards rejecting these conforming concepts and highlight interesting people who don't necessarily fit into these molds. The range also features collaborative work alongside Sperry and BEAMS.
