AREA Spring 2018: New York Fashion Week

AREA NYFW SS18

For their Spring/Summer 2018 collection, shown at the New Design High School, AREA designers Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk were inspired by the vibrance and energy of the Pompidou’s Kollektsia!, an exhibition of Russian contemporary art.

This was a starting point for the collection’s bold colors and abstracted prints, influenced by optimism in times of uncertainty. The notion of beauty and glamour is an ongoing reference for the brand; the ways in which these ideals evolve and change across time and culture. In embracing and fusing these codes and elements, AREA celebrates duality and togetherness.
