“Revolution and upheaval are on the minds of WRKDEPT’s Andy Long Hoang and Tinashe Musara for their Spring/Summer 2017 collection. Mining the murals and visual language of Southern Mexico’s indigenous Chiapas region, Hoang and Musara have become inspired by the local Zapatista artwork depicting revolutionary militants in unisex uniforms and masks. This inspiration is expressed in the collection’s pleated skirts, shorts and especially shirts and jackets that form the center of any classic military dress. Their reimagining of these pieces extracts elements from Mexican folkloric clothing and transforms them into essential pieces that carry a good dash of whimsy.” – FY Magazine
