Does it feel like we are living in an apocalypse? If your answer is yes, then you are feeling what a lot of folks are feeling. We are not quite in the “Escape from New York” movie aesthetic; however, if things don’t get better, and fast, we might get there faster than expected.
Nihilism and apocalypse aside, it is a challenge to be thinking about luxury fashion when the world seems to be going amuck. Still, you cannot throw the baby out with the bath water, because there is a raging viral pandemic, climate disaster, and our Commander-in-chief seems to be perpetually stuck on stupid. If you are not comfortable with looking glamorous in these perilous times, but still want to express your fashion sense, Fashion Reverie has a viable alternative.
Let your rebel yell come out and your ‘f**k the establishment’ shine through with Loha Vete’s latest collection. Remember, you can be irreverent with a little tongue-and-cheek thrown in for good measure with the Loha Vete fall 2020 collection.
Drawing inspiration from the mundane to the insane, the Loha Vete designer, Maxi Cassini, explores the beauty found in destruction, often elevating everyday overlooked elements into wearable art. Walking the thin line between love and hate, the collection incorporates opposing aesthetic perspectives of disheveled glamour to polished elegance. Approaching the design process with an appreciation for the unique and outrageous, an attitude of unexpected irreverence and satire, and an utmost focus on quality and craft, Loha Vete is a realist brand that strives to create luxury pieces that sit on the fine edge of fashion.
Just as with your favorite old tee shirt, or a jacket you find in a thrift store, the story attached to the garment is what makes it meaningful. Thoughtfulness is a luxury that we don’t often see with clothing today. Adding small memory foam panels to the inside of hand embroidered destroyed jeans is an example of what occupies Loha Vete’s mind-set. Loha Vete could not be further from disposable, it is a label that is both original and unmistakable.

(Inside tip: If you are participating in social protests, these are great garments that will spark conversation and demonstrate that your ‘f**k the establishment’ stance comes with a bit of humor. Hey, we need some belly laughs right now.)
