'Backstreet Lovers' Part 1: The Digital Fashion Collection

— Shown at Digital Fashion Week 2023 In the heart of London’s pulsating nightlife, hidden away like a whispered secret, lies The Backstreet Bar - a haven of unleashed passion, a sanctuary for those who dare to explore the darkest corners of their desires. A place where time stands still, where rebellion meets sensuality and a distinct aura of unapologetic authenticity permeates the air. This physical legacy located in Mile End, London served as a symbol of resilience for the queer community during the detrimental impact of the HIV and AIDS crisis. This collection takes its cues from the raw and edgy aesthetics rooted in The Backstreet’s monumental past, incorporating elements of leather, rubber and other hardware materials. ‘Backstreet Lovers’ isn’t just a digital collection; it’s a statement of individuality, a token of queer history reintroduced into our digital landscape. It invites wearers to explore their inner strength, where bold fashion choices are celebrated and authenticity is king. In a world where conformity often reigns, this collection serves as a reminder that there is beauty in breaking the rules, and true style is born from the courage to be different.
