The 25SS collection "GOBLIN" is based on the theme of "adolescence between dreams and nightmares," and its design reflects the tension between contradictory concepts such as order and chaos, tranquility and suffering. Through the character GOBLIN, we express the symbol of unstable adolescence through fashion. My sources of inspiration are diverse, including music, movies, and graphic design. For graphic design, he deconstructs iconic graphics from 80's American design and Dungeons & Dragons, combining a vintage feel with a new perspective. The design is characterized by distressing and deliberately creating a collapsed silhouette to express the ``mental instability'' and ``growing pains'' of adolescence, and the stretching and contracting of the silhouette also reflects the physical changes of adolescence. The message of this collection is the theme of ``Uncomfortable life,'' which symbolizes the anxiety, discomfort, and search for identity that are typical of adolescence. The GOBLIN character is not just a design motif, but functions as a symbol of the fluctuations in young people's identities and challenges to society, and the collection embodies "rebellion," "growth," and "instability" through fashion.
LIBERAL YOUTH MINISTRY × Tシャツ・ロングTシャツ
This is a fashion brand founded in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2016 by Mexican designer Antonio Zaragoza. The brand is influenced by American pop culture, particularly the 1980s and 1990s, and aims to explore youth culture. As a design philosophy, we incorporate elements of punk and garage style to express the universality of youth. Liberal Youth Ministry features distressed and oversized construction, putting new spins on timeless pieces like flared pants and suits. This allows fashion to express young people's rebellious spirit and affinity with subcultures. Additionally, the brand explores youth culture through the lens of streetwear, drawing inspiration from prominent subcultures and artists such as Harmony Korine and Sonic Youth. Through this, Liberal Youth Ministry has established its own style and serves as a bridge between youth culture and fashion.
