Collection: AW2020 YOUTH OF BOURGEOISIE PRE-ORDER
Salasai AW2020 ‘Youth of Bourgeoisie’ pays homage to the voice of youth, often the narrators and instigators for change. Exploring the architypes of hierarchy and breaking down the societal walls that divide, creating Salasai’s ‘order of society’. Inviting lower, middle and upper class to dine at the same table in a medley of intended ironies.
Geo-heritage tartan lays foundation for the ‘Aristocrat’ print, echoing the call for unity. Where tartan once symbolised separatism, now unified in beautiful matrimony. Meanwhile, Madonna and child iconography emblazons the second print with romantic nostalgia contrasted with playful bold spots.
Feminine silhouettes detailed with sculpted sleeves carry through a collection highlighted with overly loud pea green lace, punchy check coating and pockets of unisex tailoring, true to the Salasai sartorial signature. Three piece relaxed suiting, heritage kilts and minimal utilitarian handling of styles accentuate a collection strong in direction while twinsets, merino jumpers and bold text pay homage to the Salasai’s own heritage.
Pre-ordering from this collection means more than reserving clothes — it’s an invitation to participate in a story of thoughtful rebellion and intelligent design. Each silhouette, color, and texture is deliberately chosen to make you feel confident, expressive, and part of a considered wardrobe.
This collection is for those who appreciate structure, creativity, and the quiet power of design: the ones who see fashion as more than decoration, but as a statement of thought and presence. Step into the Youth of Bourgeoisie and embrace pieces that are made to speak.
