AFFXWRKS

A new project from Kiko Kostadinov, Taro Ray, Stephen Mann, and Michael Kopelman: AFFXWRKS is a menswear label that holds experimentation at its heart. Traditional workwear and accessibility are pivotal to this men’s line based upon the concept of ‘New Utility’. Initially launched as a radio program on the pirate radio station Know-Wave, AFFXWRKS explores the intersection of pragmatism and progressivity with an idealistic reimagining of anterior workwear structures. Tonal work jackets and six-pocket service pants sporting contrast stitching highlight the designers’ attention to detail. Meanwhile, graphic t-shirts boasting multilingual renditions of the brand’s slogan accentuate the concepts of collaboration and reconstitution interrelated with the contemporary tastes of the industry insiders at the helm. Clean construction demonstrates a familiarity and confidence that frame the AFFXWRKS line in a wholly captivating light, with the label’s hoodies, sweatshirts and caps exemplifying efficient simplicity and rendering this collection markedly practical.
