The collection, which was released last week, comprises of different designs of mainly what can be described as shirt-skirts, which are long T-shirts that go down and stop just before they reach the knees.
“We are living in a transforming generation where there is different genders that are glowing, growing and transforming so we decided to introduce a collection that is for the genderless society. We should be able to agree with everyone,” said Mboko Basiami the creative director of Glotto.
However she noted that the collection is not only for the genderless society but also for cross dressers, heterosexuals and metrosexuals.
While explaining, she gave an example of how a recent trend dubbed Boys In Skirts, had young men wearing skirts and was at its peak last year December. This is a first local fashion collection in the country to make it clear that it is dedicated to the genderless society
and individuals who are into cross dressing.
When describing the design for the collection she noted that it carries the hunters and gathers element in the millennial era, which is why the clothes are bleached while some are tie and dyed to produce a brown colour.
“We want to capture that hunter-and-gatherer era and combine with today’s trends. As millennials we want to decolonise what is said is beautiful, design something new with the traditional attires in mind.
T- shirts are timeless and every generation wears them. This is why we decided to put our focus on them but play around with designs,” said the 21-year-old Basiami.
Having released the editorial pictures of the collection online Basiami noted that it has already been released in South Africa where it is already on sale.Read more at:formal dresses uk | marieprom
