Glamorous Skyline-Inspired Fashion

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Hardware AW22 Capsule is Grungy & Aesthetically Captivating

— November 7, 2022 — Fashion
The Hardware AW22 debuted at New York Fashion Week earlier this year and the capsule features glamorous and chic silhouettes that captivate attention. The designers at the luxury, high-end brand drew inspiration from the city skyline and presented what has been defined as "a visual mixtape of grunge-n-glamour" and as "the 'give a f**k' attitude of a Siouxsie Sioux meets Carrie Ann Moss in The Matrix."

Unique metal embellishments are a frequently harnessed design trope. The Hardware AW2 is composed of high-end materials, including luxurious leather and "esoteric premium fabric choices." As a brand, Hardware serves the "modern-day female, loud, proud, and independent" and this shows in the Hardware AW2 release. The capsule is called Natural Savage, reflecting the empowering and wild connotations of the designs.
