COLLECTION III JOURNAL

Collection III looks deeper into the New Yorker’s subway commute as an allegory for the political disconnect this year’s U.S. presidential campaign has brought to light. behno discovered the subway as a communal space that brings together individuals from diverse intersections of class, ethnicity and gender with a simple and common goal: going somewhere. Multi-colored glass marble mosaics from the station walls of 42nd Street are embroidered onto an asymmetrical dress to playfully pose the question- “Have we lost our marbles?”. The iconic blue seats on the train inspire the hue for flowing silk dresses while a completely embroidered suit brings to life the beauty of a mundane pattern New Yorkers walk upon everyday: the subway floor.
