Open Nine Five, designed by Ibrahim Mimou (OPEN) is a clothing label based out of Los Angeles, California. For Spring/Summer 2016 they present a collection titled Dark Flowers, inspired by the intersection of city life and its surroundings: where canyons meet residences, and where gravelly roads and alleyways meet the ocean. What is created in this merging, this linking of nature and human industry, is a kind of ambiguity—spaces emerge that allow for inclusiveness, collaboration. Working within these spaces, they seek to create pieces that are androgynous and feature loose silhouettes, allowing for differing and diverse expressions of individual attitude and sexuality. They hope people will see in their designs a more comfortable palette, an easier style, something two people could wear to a party and look completely different in. The driving principle is that the individual brings their own meanings to the clothing; the outfit complements their character. Dark Flowers S/S’16 will be available at a number of stockists and HERE during spring.
