Are Slaves catching the fish you buy?”, a news article by Associated Press in 2015 sparked the topic on slave labor in the South Asia fishing industry- where fishers are forced to work restlessly on the ocean with fear created through violent punishment and even murder. Rarely able to escape, some even stay on a boat for 4 to 5 years at sea. Touched by the tragic stories of the Asian fisherman, Private Policy‘s SS17 collection explores the horror of modern slavery through artistic interpretations. Using symbols of imprisonment, restriction, and pain, the collection becomes emotional with striped pieces to resemble imprisonment, harnesses for constriction, and unique fits. With a garment vocabulary of color, texture, pattern, and silhouette, Private Policy continues to push the boundaries between high-end luxury and youth wear.
