Instead of treating a finished collection as the ending point of a seasonal project, PORTS 1961’s Artistic Director, Karl Templer, has made it into the starting point for ten artists, inviting them to reinterpret the FW 2020 collection in their signature style. Creating a handful of interesting illustrations that expresses a personal narrative, hints of the brand comes through in their various dynamic compositions. See how these artists have given a twist to the brand’s signature pleated skirts, silk pieces, and handbags above.
