CONCEPT S BEING AND NOTHINGNESS
The watercolour custom-developed print bears the ideas in words scattered around, an aphoristic representation of a philosophy that celebrates the disorder of our world.Â
STATEMENT Once we thought that in everyone and everything there was an essence, something to return to, even if hidden under layers of appearances. But 19th Century continental existentialists thought differently. Maybe once stripped back, behind what exists, there is only nothingness. The only way to encounter this nothingness is by actuating our ‘being’ and embracing our existence. ‘Being and Nothingness’, the name of French philosopher Satre’s most prolific work, reminds us that we are “perpetually condemned to freedom” — to design and redesign the world in which we live, to act the part of the person we are at any time, and to observe the world as it is, existing and changing, never one thing at its core. Existentialists encourage us to embrace the absurd, and this Trans-Seasonal Gender Fluid 2021 Collection brings the absurdity to fashion. Living like an existentialist is the basis of this range. It encourages the consumer to feel that they are “never one of your attitudes, any one of your actions.” It represents the free human in the various ways it can be worn, and the many situations it can be worn in.
The capsule collection replaces conventional dress codes that reinforce gender norms, with authentic, versatile and contemporary looks that embrace a culture of performance and action. It asks the wearer to loosen up their proclivity to experiment with their own personal style. The minimalist and neutral colour palette, juxtaposed with design and specific attention to detail is to allow the wearer to be taken places, to feel confident, alive and free. L.Hersz’s typical customer is a powerful, straightforward individual who does not follow trends, is experimental and searches for styles that are minimal and intricate at the same time. They have a high profile, are fashion conscious and selective with the clothes they wear. They seek the ultimate form of sophistication and simplistic design — a show-stopper with grace. They value the craftsmanship of a well-made product, are bold and independent, classy and timeless. The Trans-Seasonal gender fluid 2021 collection ‘Being and Nothingness’ re-assembles the conventional dress code with authentic, versatile and contemporary looks that embrace the current culture of performance and action. A liberating fashion, that shapes and reshapes in every moment.
