LOVERS #1

embroidered details

Lovesick

LOVESICK revolves around vulnerability, masculinity, and sexuality—the power struggles and overall suppression of existence that these concepts can cause, specifically within the gay community. The clothes are an attempt to unite the blatant oversexualization of gayness and overly romanticized sentiments that we hold on to of our current and past lovers.
