The new Heresy collection for the Fall/Winter 2019 season takes quite a few cues from interesting sources.
For one, the garments are inspired by the surrealist movement in art, specifically from the works of "Picasso, Henry Moore, and Dorothea Tanning." Secondly, the Heresy collection boasts a very militant character that encourages the use of durable, "combat-spec fabrics." This also ensures that the garments also provide quality function and practicality to the consumer. In fact, this is strengthened through the brand's collaboration with military wear specialists Arktis. Finally, the slick Fall/Winter 2019 capsule also taps folklore iconography for inspiration. This is translated in the latest Heresy collection through the incorporation of "graphic references."
