Reconstructed Upcycle: Andrea Crews Fall/Winter 2020
Written by Cassell Ferere
Rooted deep in the DNA of Andrea Crews are the chopped and screwed garments delivered with refinement. Restructured and makeshift, seemingly this has been the process for creating the collection of clothes to represent Andrea’s upcycling aesthetic.
This Paris Fashion Week, Andrea Crews went ahead and portrayed a fleeting dystopian moment, where models look as if exhausted from their journeys trekking through a war known as fashion week. Each model was bare in emotion as they gazed into their own sexual ambiguity.
Finished edges of the cut-outs in the garments highlighted the model's bodies. The distressed knits and other materials like leather, oddly structured, contrasted the more familiar silhouettes. The reflective runway provided a voyeuristic and perverse view of the entire collection bent and skewed depending on how malleable the surface has become.
Models spent the presentation smoking, braiding hair, or just small talking one another, casually filling the clothes with – a life - as viewers surveyed the garments. This edgy aspect is where the Andrea Crews brand and its founder, Maroussia Rebecq, live. A performance by Baguena Bella wrapped the show in an autotuned trance as the sounds that belched out almost mimicked the tone of the show and the energy of the garments.
The streetwear essence which is transient at the moment seems to be reinventing itself in the same organic ways that street style has been a holy grail for dictating streetwear from the sidewalks to the corporate offices.
