Prevalent in the esoteric references of luxury design houses and the wider fashion sphere alike, the emergence of thrifting and vintage garments as a cornerstone inspiration has become an important advance against the looming shadow of the growing fast fashion market.
Amongst the contemporary realization of ‘new’ vintage brands, Zach Kinninger’s Basketcase stands above the rest in both curation and quality.
The creative seeks to distill the euphoria of finding that one-of-a-kind vintage piece; to capture the charm of its well-loved qualities in small batch releases of distressed but lasting clothes. Garments are crafted with an appreciation to formative American fashion, whilst applied graphics and embellishments are a result of thorough curation.
Basketcase stands to preserve the uniqueness of items and the genuine interaction between human and garment; the discovery, and the years of wear to follow.
