Martin Asbjørn is a Copenhagen-based up-and-coming designer, who delves into the rebellious clothing style with his 'Teenage Dirtbag' collection. The line boasts expected designs, but with a high fashion twist. Captured in an angsty photo series by Eva Al Desnudo, the predominantly dark anxious teen uniform design has been broken up with bright red pops of color, beige 90-inspired corduroy fabrics and bold 'Teenage Dirtbag' references on scarves and Doc Martens boots.
The rebellious clothing style is also contained within the elaborate silver jewelry and eye-catching dramatic graphics of a dagger-through-a-burning-heart. Without a doubt Martin Asbjørn has successfully captured the essence of teenage hood and his line will not only serve as a nostalgic trigger for adults, but also as an inspiration to those, entering the teen years.
