Family, blood or unrelated is an important aspect of anyone’s life, playing a very significant role in forming our personalities, and AGAINST LAB’s latest collection aims to reflect that.
Dubbed ‘Menage,’ the collection drew inspiration when co-founder Shawn noticed that his Chinese neighbours had a praying session every Wednesday night without fail, and when the new tenants (Vietnamese) moved in they too continued the tradition without a hiccup. Shawn realised that such a simple act done together brought friends and family closer, and it filled the space with positive vibrations.
Drawing from this, the collection imagines how this concept translates to an AGAINST “family unit.” The mum prefers take-outs because she despises cooking, while the father’s computer folder collection ranges from Urahara streetwear photos to ankle breaker compilations. A son that’s too wise for his age, doling out quotes like “Pace Yourself, Life’s a Marathon,” and the youngest princess, whom is a manipulative psycho. A family like this exists somewhere. Could be far, could be closer than you think. And this one’s for them.
The new collection is now available on AGAINST LAB’s website as well as selected stockists worldwide.
