Drug Culture-Exploring Fashion

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Ex Infinitas Juxtaposes Harsh Reality with Vibrant Colors

— February 6, 2018 — Fashion
For Spring/Summer 2018 Australian fashion brand Ex Infinitas taps into a paradoxical societal system through surf and drug culture-exploring fashion. The line is a stylish commentary on the standard for happiness and success in life -- study, build a career, make money, settle down and start a family. The arrangements mix distinct characteristics of classic business attire and drifter aesthetic. Ex Infinitas contrasts the societal ideal with the "young surfer, colliding with cold weather" and a drug come down.

Through drug culture-exploring fashion and tapping into the image of the surfer as a care-free youth, Ex Infinitas highlights the theme of Escapism in its Spring/Summer 2018 collection. The result is a vibrant juxtaposition between the reality one is expected to entertain and the rebellion against it.
