This press release reads like something we’d write, and is reminiscent of the greatest press release ever, that of House of Dereon. ‘Agi&Sam have travelled to the future, to just before the aocalypse, where the last men alive on Earth are replicating the finest cloths of the past using recycled fabrics from plastics.’ Fake! Or visual trickery if you prefer which seems to have become a bit of a thing. This is all polyester but resembles a wool, or at least heavy cotton. The patterns are more a melage of colour, reminiscent of a pool of differently hued melted plastics. The clever thing is that, rather than try to add more visual effects, they’ve kept the shapes rather classic which means that as a whole it works.
