• “What Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi did today was what you might call ‘evolved punk,’ a collection that dealt with many of the punk symbols that have been subsumed into fashion over decades—black and red, zippers and studs, tartan and leopard spot, mohair and argyle. Their accomplishment is to splice it all into a continuation of the modern wardrobe they develop, season by season.” [Vogue.com]
