Precision


Piece D’anarchive
Piece
Rarity-edited designs-emotional trail
Archive
French creation-formal craftsmanship-understatement
Anarchie
Material clashes- upside down codes- cool chaos

 I’m still a relatively new fan of knitwear duo Deborah and Priscilla Royer (AKA Piece D’anarchive and am still finding myself swooning over their s/s 14 “chapter 05” collection
I wasn’t aware of Piece D’anarchive before this season, but it’s hardly surprising this collection caught my eye. Being someone who appreciates both street wear and sportswear but struggles to fit them around my chaotic “awkward clumpy witch” wardrobe, this collection felt like a breath of fresh air.

“Chapter 05” pretty much sums up everything that excites me about fashion. Obsessive attention to detail, simplistic shapes, monochrome layering, unisex styling, structured grids, clashing textures, SQUARES and shit loads of lasercutting/devore- not to mention those insane platforms! Mmmm
What I love most however is how they’ve included those obvious street inspired elements (baseball caps, nikes/converse), while successfully keeping that all important minimal pared back and high quality feel,  Plus it’s almost entirely monochrome. Need I say more?
