AGI & SAM LONDON COLLECTION MAN

Menswear label Agi&Sam make London Fashion Week debut
Menswear day at London Fashion week sees the launch of Agi&Sam, a London-based label with a fresh, playful approach
to men’s clothing. Agi&Sam offer a refreshing mix of understated silhouettes and innovative kaleidoscopic prints in their first
collection, entitled The Native American Colonisation of European States.
The collection, being shown for the first time at Vauxhall Fashion Scout at Freemasons Hall, draws on tongue-in-cheek
imagery; dissecting pop culture whilst looking back to an idealised notion of the Native American way of life presented in
Wild West movies such as Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) by Sergio Leone. References are torn apart, manipulated
and reassembled to create eye-catching, wearable clothes with a humorous twist.
Aiming to be revolutionary in their approach to print design, Agi&Sam experiment heavily with texture and colour, stretching
the boundaries of digital printing. A minimal approach has been taken with separates, with superfluous details and seams
removed to create simple but intelligently made garments.
