Collection: REVOLUTION

Revolution - not as romanticism, but as the recurring historical fact that power resists change until it cannot.

The Revolution collection gathers clothing and objects from moments of rupture: the May 1968 Paris uprising, the Woman Life Freedom movement, the long tradition of anti-war resistance. Garments that know which side of history they are on.

WHAT'S IN THIS COLLECTION:
May '68 - the civil unrest that shook France in 1968. "Be Young and Shut Up" drawn from the original street graphics. "May '68 Civil Unrest" on a unisex long sleeve tee.

Woman Life Freedom - the Kurdish protest slogan adopted by the Iranian women's uprising after the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022. Available as an organic cotton unisex tee, an all-over print women's tee, a bodycon dress and a skater dress.

Resist - the symbol of peaceful nonviolent resistance on a unisex hoodie and ceramic mug.

THE HISTORY BEHIND THIS COLLECTION:
Civil Unrest of May 1968
Mahsa Amini and the Woman Life Freedom movement
The French Revolution and the modern tradition of protest
The history of activism
