The Greg Lauren Summer 2021 collection is made up of a broad scope of designs that center around the theme of deconstructed Americana aesthetics. There are distressed denim pieces, bright patchwork accents, loosely tailored silhouettes, and textured fabrication that make up the designs.
There is also a strong focus and sustainability as well -- Lauren states, "My own deep reflection and consciousness has led me to take a look at how the African American experience has impacted me, which has led to my examination of the history of some of my aesthetic inspirations." Every item in the collection is constructed from recycled fabric including pieces from retro army tents, old flannel shirts, denim painter pants, and deadstock scraps to create new patterning.
