“This collection revolves around a conversation that intertwines hyper-masculinity with hyper-femininity. Inspired by the women of the Bauhaus; Gertrud Anrdt, Anni Albers and Gunta Stölzl – whom of which the collection is named after. Their textile work is juxtaposed against the queer leather scene.

Community and craft is at the heart of this collaboration and like the manifesto of the Bauhaus, this collection is too, gender ambiguous.”
Jonathon’s collection consists of modern shapes and woven scraps of left over leather, specifically a leather Parka, biker jacket and upcycled leather chunky boots.
