There’s a part of the fashion world that’s moving in an increasingly conceptual direction. Brands like Balenciaga take remixing to the extreme, appropriating symbols from across the landscape of visual culture, not just fashion (think leather tote bags that look like IKEA, collabs with Erewhon and eBay). This design logic is in direct response to the logic of the internet, which frees and fragments information.
