LATEST - ANTUMBRA DY.S3 RUNWAY
ANTUMBRA: THE LIGHTER AREA OF A SHADOW THAT EXISTS WHEN A LIGHT SOURCE IS LARGER THAN THE OBJECT CASTING THE SHADOW
THE ANTUMBRA COLLECTION REPRESENTS THE BEAUTY FOUND IN DARKNESS. THIS IS REPRESENTED THROUGH GARMENTS THAT CONTRAST BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK COLORS, DISTRESSING AND DRAPING, AND TRADITIONALLY INEXPENSIVE VS TRADITIONALLY EXPENSIVE ASPECTS.
THIS COLLECTION FEELS GRAINY, NOISY, BUT COHESIVE IN A WAY THAT EMBODIES A SENSE OF ORDER AND CONNECTEDNESS.
Debuting their first collection, “Decadence” in SS23, the Peats SISTER DUO have continued working on expanding the reach and message of the BRAND. They have been a part of multiple FASHION SHOWS, flea markets, and popups across the los angeles area showcasing the sustainable craftsmanship behind the brand. The “Intemperance” collection made its debut for SS24 at the TENS fashion show. Pieces from the show made their way to NYFW 2024, worn by various creatives. - Kabeer kansara
NEXUS MODA RUNWAY SHOW - DTLA
DEGXNERATE YOUTH HAD THE PRIVILEDGE OF BEING PART OF THE NEXUS MODA RUNWAY SHOW IN DTLA; an immersive day-long experience at the intersection of sustainable fashion and cutting-edge technology.
We were able to showcase our new antumbra season 3 collection alongside brands such as CLOUDZLA, NATASHIA.STUDIO, AND PHLEMUNS.
intemperance
OUR GOAL WAS TO FOCUS ON SILHOUETTES AND FINDING WAYS TO BE CREATIVE WITHOUT TOO MUCH DISTINCTIVE FABRICATION OR TREATMENTS ADDED TO THE GARMENTS. THE SCULPTED PIECES ARE PATTERNED TO HAVE A BASIC SHAPE BUT THE WEARER’S BODY DECIDES THE CREASES, FOLDS, AND OVERALL DRAPE OF THE GARMENT AS IT CONFORMS TO THEIR FIGURE.
CABRILLO BEACH - LOS ANGELES - CALIFORNIA
the intemperance editorial photoshoot took place at Cabrillo Beach, where the rocky cliffs, sandy terrain, and frequent gusts of wind served as the perfect environment and world for our garments.
This unique environment allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the raw beauty of the location.
Through careful composition and creative direction, we were able to capture the bold, gritty, and timeless elements that define the collection. The textures of the rocks, the shifting sands, calm waves of the ocean, and wind brought a natural and timeless energy.

OUR MODELS ARE OFTEN OTHER CREATIVES WHO SHARE SAME VALUES AND SIMILAR IDEAS.
THIS ALLOWS US TO ALWAYS BE INSPIRED BY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND POINT OF VIEWS WHILE WORKING.
WE ALWAYS LIKE TO ENCOURAGE COLLABORATION.
MARKETING
WIth our marketing approach, we wanted to start a series “Fashion Fusion, where We collaborated with other creatives of all artistic industries to restyle a piece from any collection.
