Through the careful extrapolation of Caribbean sensibilities, LEBLANCSTUDIOS aims to envision a uniquely dystopian environment; influenced by noir film, cult classic video-games & avant garde literature, it begs its consumer to consider their place within our tech-infused society while tapping into the most relevant aesthetic principles of the Global South. Constant surveillance, the consequences of conglomerate business and the unmitigated growth of cyberspace are just some of the questions weaved through the collection.
Imagining the metropolitan slums of the future and experimenting with vibrant, tropical, hues allowed us to develop our own colors indicative of an independent woman of the future. Her garments cut by examining stealth architecture and brutalist references help further convey a dystopian ennui. Simply put, no medium inserted offers a nuanced look into a Latin American cyberpunk future wardrobe.
