From Closed and Vogue’s Michael Philouze, a New Capsule Collection That Moves Style Beyond Gender – Vogue

It will take time and work to achieve such a utopia; the Closed capsule offers options for the journey in the form of hoodies, military jackets, jeans, and, of course, a slip dress. The cut is generous so as to be inclusive. The idea was to update some staples from the company, so it was a mix of archival researchand then we went thrift store shopping in Berlin, and a little American college influence coming from me, explains Philouze, a proud Marymount Manhattan College alum.

The overall vibe of the collection is easy, yet this is a purposeful project both on the concept and material level (eco denim, viscose, and natural dyes were used for some of the pieces.) We wanted to have a dialogue around it so the pieces would connect to you on a deeper level, Philouze says. I see capsule collections as messages to help kids enjoy being who they are, who they want to become, and feeling free with the interaction between their bodies and identities, because for me one of the strengths of fashion is to be able to give people the lift or the motivation to become a better version of themselves.
