Subwae Studio’s Rammed Earth: A Modern Masterpiece

Subwae Studio‘s latest collection, “Rammed Earth,” is a bold reinterpretation of luxury fashion, rooted in sustainability and community empowerment. Inspired by the ancient building technique of rammed earth, the collection seamlessly merges timeless aesthetics with contemporary innovation.

The inspiration behind the collection extends beyond its mere aesthetic appeal. The rammed earth construction process, a practice deeply intertwined with the local community, fosters collaboration, empowers youth, and transforms limited resources into opportunities. This spirit of community and sustainability is mirrored in the creation of the 15-piece collection, each piece meticulously crafted to be mixed and matched easily into multiple outfits.

While drawing inspiration from classic silhouettes, SUBWAE’s design language continues to evolve. The “Rammed Earth” collection showcases the brand’s unwavering pursuit of innovation, challenging conventional fashion norms and redefining luxury. The result is a collection that is both timeless and forward-thinking. An army green coat, a style staple for the modern man, is layered over a graphic button-up off-white shirt, adding a touch of unexpected contrast. The ensemble is grounded by classic brown pleated canvas pants, a timeless choice that exudes refined elegance. Checkered fabrics are seen everywhere from mini-cargo skirts to shirts with functional patch pockets. The brand’s street style sensibilities are very much alive- hoodies are paired with ruched straight skirts and hooded boleros are worn over a sleeveless windbreaker.

As the designer, Christopher Akpo aptly notes, this collection is a testament to the “refinement of old classics” and the ongoing evolution of SUBWAE’s design language. It is a collection that celebrates the enduring power of sustainable fashion, seamlessly blending timeless elegance with contemporary innovation. By reimagining classic silhouettes and incorporating sustainable practices, SUBWAE has created a collection that is both a homage to the past and a vision for the future.
