Fashion – Toronto
A CREATIVE SPACE WHERE TWO ECCENTRIC ARTISTS COMBINE THEIR TALENTS AND VISION TO CREATE MARBELIZED CHAOS AND BEAUTY. FOCUSING ON WEARABLE DREAMY ART DETAILED WITH BULKY KNITS, EMBROIDERY AND COLOUR. DEFECTIVE COLLECTIVE IS THE BRAIN CHILD OF KASSANDRA COLEMAN (@KASSIETASTIC) AND ASHLEY BULLOCK (@FEAROFMADNESS).
BASED OUT OF TORONTO AND HAMILTON THE COLLECTIVE IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY STREET ART, YARN BOMBING AND CREATING OTHER WORLDLY ITEMS THAT SHOULD EXIST IN OUR REALITY. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING ARTISTS THAT SEE BEYOND THE MADNESS OF THE STRUCTURED WORLD.
THE NEWEST FASHION LINE BEING SHOWN IN 2017 HAS BEEN LABELLED “HIVE BRAIN” BASED ON BUILDING CLOTHING IN LAYERS AND WITH A COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUS OF THE FINISHED VISION. CREATING ONE OF A KIND FABRICS USING PLASTICS, PAINT AND EMBROIDERY. EACH PIECE GOES THROUGH TRANSFORMATION WITH EACH ARTIST TAKING STAGES OF IT’S CREATION. ALLOWING THE EMOTIONS OF CREATION TO TAKE OVER.
