A two-dimensional shirt with slit sleeves emulate bikers’ restricted arms. Perfectly aligned screen-printed pieces portray mud-soaked cyclists with superimposed rips across the legs and butt. Briah’s 3⁄4 length pants connects six, manually-knit pattern pieces with torn up knee holes, akin to limits pushed too far on a bike. A dynamic mesh dress can snap off its skirt to be styled in three completely different silhouettes. The knit g-string pant is revived in her second collection and paired with the perfected hooded tank. Eco Cotton mesh mimics gauze to form a delicate handkerchief sleeve top. Strategic zippers and holes preserve the threshold of collapse. Zero-waste knit-to-shape construction and re-purposed t-shirts and jerseys demonstrate Briah Artemis’ continued commitment to sustainable design. Expert knitwear techniques infuse the collection with ingenuity and a penchant for versatile clothing.
