Nothing Sacred is a menswear collection that explores the way personal narrative can be turned inside out and upside down. The construction of personal identity as the layering of socialisation, sensuous experience and image, is itself violently deconstructed via the garment. The (by-) product of the unveiling and peeling back is an exposure of wounds, bare bones and stains, suggesting a displacement of the Sacred from the Object to the Remnant.
