Fashion imprint CLOT introduces its Altered Beast collection that is specifically designed for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. The inspiration behind the designs stem from mythical creatures that are part of ancient folklore throughout cultures globally.
The brand celebrates the different creatures throughout a range of wearables. Founder and Creative Director Edison Chen talk about the influence, “I’m a history geek who loves Egyptian culture, one of the most striking images of that time is drawings of people that are four different types of things. To understand that culture means you have to let go of everything you think you know and try to understand what it is that they’re trying to portray." The collection is made up of tees, shirts, jackets, hats, sweaters, and more.
