THE BEST OF SS18 COMMISSIONS

Posted on by Stevie Crowne

 

This has been a very busy season transitioning after my SS18 runway collection. I find after each season there is a boatload of great custom orders that come in, sometimes inspired from the runway or directly from my clientelle’s imagination.

Below are some of my favorite projects I have completed in the last few months.

 

This is a matching denim set directly inspired by the  Underground Monarch collection. The client supplied the denim shirt as well as the jeans. I embellished the collar with gold zipper trim and flap pocket with a small gold chain. The pants were a diffusion remake from the pants shown on the runway in April.

The next two garments were commissioned by the same client in Montréal, who supplied another two sweaters for me to rework. The beige sweater was given a signature crown patch and the velvet hoodie was dip-dyed.

This top and bottom set was also inspired by Underground Monarch, except it was white garments we chose to work with, incorporating the gold zipper and brocade details.

 

Streetwear denim merged with old sportswear shorts with this hybrid creation.

Inspired by D.I.Y patchwork trends, this pair of denims had zig zag stitched knee pads + pockets inserted from the sleeves of the white Acne Shirt seen earlier in this post.

These old and unworn denims were tailored and splattered.

 

What I love about these denims is they were a inspired look from the SS18 line before I paneled them with blue denim to fit the size of the client.

Above is a leather quilted leather jacket/dress with pink signature prints on the sleeve, detailed with gold zippers and buttons.

From the cutting table. A white body-con dress with silver and black jacquard trim. It merges casual with a hint of elegance.

This was a long plain sequin dress before I hemmed it and decided to incorporate an asymmetric detail for the sleeves.

 

This is an example of a classic dyed denim jacket with pyramid studs, silver chain detail alongside a back center signature crown patch.

 

Here is a fanny pack I embellished with two silver chains and added a matching buckle.

 

Another classic denim with added gold zippers on the sleeves alongside the details.

Black cotton shirt, splattered and with a center crown patch made from recycled embossed leather.

One of the more colorful commissions this season, this was a brown leather dress I separated, tailored, and embellished with black chains.

SS18 Ready to Wear: Custom

Posted on by Stevie Crowne

It feels like it has been a few months since I have uploaded a blog showcasing all of the commission’s I have recieved from my clients. First, I must show one of the pieces I am most proud of!

One of my favorite creations this year! This denim features a removable 50″ denim train with ruffles, distressing, shoulder chain detail, and a brass zipper trimmed signature crown patch on the back.

 

Below are pieces I have created under a collective/elevated vision. A rarity as a design creative is to give power to your target market- it is a surprise at times, and at other times it is a more wearable version of what I would normally do.

Danny Dymond’s Album Cover

Posted on by Stevie Crowne

 

Congratulations to Danny Dymond for releasing his album, “Nightlife, Love, and Liberty” last night at The Hideout in Toronto.

It has been so much fun to work on custom clothing for his stage performances this last year, and was a true honor to have my custom feather + chain embellished jacket with a specialized zipper diamond motif on the back make it onto his album artwork + tour merchandise.

More photos coming soon of his performance, primarily wearing our collaboration pieces throughout.

Also, here is a photograph of him in our custom look that made the front page of the newspaper in his hometown, where he performed proudly at a pride parade alongside fans and protesters.
