Landeros New York — Breaking Fashion Stereotypes
On Sunday March 8th at Scandinavia House, Landeros New York presented the Night Transmissions Fall/Winter 2020 collection.
A variety of gender-fluid pieces were showcased, often featuring metallic blacks and greys, occasionally contrasted by brighter winter hues. The statement clothing excitingly seems to prioritise unique style and confidence of the wearer over following gender binaries.
Andre Landeros Michel founded Landeros in New York in 2013 and has since been progressively “eliminating sartorial gender binaries” allowing the “individual to imbue their own meaning into each piece.” Following this movement against traditional limitations, Landeros often uses nontraditional materials such as high density neoprene to make structured garments made using both machine and hand sewing. A key value of the brand is that all pieces are designed and produced in New York City.
The design process is inspired by Andre Landeros Michel fusing his love of art and “goth, punk, new wave and industrial music” with “exaggerated silhouettes and details” inspired by “new wave album artwork and 80’s nightlife subcultures.”These influences are prominent as they culminate in the unique Landeros aesthetic.
Landeros has been featured in outlets such as British Vogue, Vogue Italia, Vulcan, Elle and seen on fashion icon Billie Porter and hip hop artist Designer. Visit Landeros NewYork to learn more about this brand boldly and beautifully breaking fashion stereotypes.
