Haus Of Keegan

CHRIS KEEGAN // SPRING 2017

Should we Comply Rather than defY?

YES

EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY

I grew up wanting, needing, craving a cell phone, and after I got what I wanted, I needed another one, then one with a keyboard, then a touch screen, then an iPhone, and then a bigger iPhone. I needed an AIM, Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat...it never ended. Everything seemed newer, bigger, and better. As millennials, those who didn’t have something could be considered irrelevant, but those who did have these things could be considered mindless and obsessed.

But isn’t what it’s about?

Relevance and validation

means absolutely everything.

that it’s all about?

isn’t

Likes, hearts, retweets, replays, hashtags, emojis, have consumed the virtual reality of our world today. All of these things suffocate and control us, yet still create a sense of satisfaction. We are obsessed and addicted to a lifestyle that was practically raised alongside us. So, how can we ever break away or defy the very bane of our existence? The answer is quite simple… we can’t.

Haus of Keegan embraces the uncertainty of a future saturated in the inevitable and conflicting constructs of technology
We embrace the modern fears of cyberspace and the expansion of technology, harness it, and channel it through a different perspective.

We are Vulnerable

We believe compliance is the only way, because seizing technology’s full potential is crucial for unlocking our own true potential.

Haus of Keegan serves as an outlet, similar to social media, to express oneself and experience the hybridization of fashion and technology, providing exclusivity and functionality.

We view all forms of technology as inspiration, resulting in garments with both desire and purpose

We promise a uniquely innovative experience. Our pieces are intended for users with addictions to both fashion and technology, as well as those who can recognize the control and impact each have on our lives.

We are Obsessed

We have our own addictions with technology and fashion, which is why users can always trust us to deliver both useful and thought-provoking pieces.

The demand to be an individual makes us feel anxious, and the remedy for this, ironically enough, is conformity
- Matthew B. Crawford

What we Know

The problem isn’t that technology is expanding rapidly anymore, but rather the dilemma we face about whether to challenge it’s expansion or embrace it. Haus of Keegan is the solution to this problem by demonstrating it’s alright that technology dictates our lives.

Enslavement

to technology is inevitable and abandoning it is doubtful

We will continue to be obsessed with posting, liking, snapping, swiping, rating, and updating. While the platforms to do so may evolve, “personal branding” and narcissism aren’t going anywhere.*

Social media has an overbearing presence in our lives. We may be visitors or followers, but it has the control, forcing us to return again and again because ultimately, we can’t let it go due to our obsessive tendencies.*

*Refer to Appendix

There is an overwhelming abundance of options to post on. We can’t just post on one social media platform, we have to post on every one. We drown in little red badges on our screens called notifcations, which taunt us and force us to return, even when we try to stay away.*

What We'll Do

Haus of Keegan’s frst collection depicts and embraces the dark reality of the presence of technology, specifcally social media, and how it is constricting us both virtually and physically. This is displayed through interesting design details with a nod to both bondage and satire, in order to create a truly graphic presentation.

So, what if social media was controlling us instead?
