Greg Lauren will be at Barneys New York, 15 East Oak Street in Chicago this Saturday, March 5th from 1pm-3pm on the 4th floor to debut his menswear collection. He does womenswear too and Second City Style will be there to meet him!
Mr. Lauren’s one-of-a-kind deconstructed tuxedos and field jackets made from vintage military duffels, army tents and sailor uniforms were born from his work as an artist. Before he launched his eponymous clothing line, he first learned to sew cutting life-size tuxedos and three-piece suits out of paper for an exhibition he presented in New York and Los Angeles last year titled “Alteration,” which explored heroic imagery the construction of iconic menswear garments.
“The clothes are about the individual, and the idea that clothing can embrace who we really are, rather than being an armor to project something artificial to the world,” says Lauren. “They are made with the spontaneity and inspiration of creating a painting, embracing imperfection rather than perfection”
