“We have long explored clean, utilitarian design which is something we expanded upon in the Nom de Guerre FW10 collection. Our approach to the Converse Skidgrip CVO shoe is also an exploration and study of uniforms, in particular. With Converse being a brand that has served as both a uniform and a statement of independence, we felt that it was an interesting juxtaposition. The collection and video further explores these themes with a lens on group solidarity, tension, and ideas of fraternity and sublimating one’s identity to operate within a group.” (Nom de Guerre)
