Re/lax Remade ‘Destination’
Re/lax Remade 'Destination'
Re/lax Remade is proud to unveil ‘Destination’, a collection inspired by the powerful affirmation: “Look! We’re here! It’s the destination!”
This new collection celebrates the abundance of all we already have, reimagining pre-existing materials into bold, sustainable designs.
Supported by WeWearAustralian and Australia Post, Re/lax Remade will launch ‘Destination’ in an immersive New York retail space, as one of 12 Australian Designers selected to showcase during NY Fashion Week next month. In a nod to the urban landscape and wintery timing of its NY release, the Destination collection is a curation of deep moody hues and features upcycled towels from designers YSL and Fendi.
At the core of ‘Destination’ is a commitment to uncovering the hidden beauty of materials with history. Each piece invites wearers to reflect on the value of starting where they are, embracing what already exists in this world, and all we have already achieved.
With the world already covered in enough textiles to clothe the next seven generations, Re/lax Remade demonstrates that we already have everything we need - if we only reframe our perspective.
“I am always trying to find a different way to say the same thing: that by looking at things differently, challenging traditional ideas, we can create an energy and a beauty that is greater than the sum of its parts.” – Karina Barker, founder of Re/lax Remade.
Alongside our signature hats, the ‘Destination’ collection launches two exciting new additions to the Re/lax Remade offering: the Century Pocket Jacket and the Horseshoe Bag. Everything we make is mindfully led by the unique material in front of us, making each piece innately exclusive and one-of-a-kind.
Re/lax Remade invites you to rediscover the past and reimagine the future with fashion that’s as sustainable as it is stylish.
Digital Activation: Jan 31 – Feb 28 (relaxremade.com.au, showroom-x.com) NYC retail activation: Feb 7-9 (576 Hudson St, New York, NY 1001)
