As I have mentioned here before, I am one for supporting independent brands - that may be local or international. I had a privilege to work with Black Rain Paris, a brand inspired by nightlife and rough underworld. Black Rain is a fusion of Parisian elegance and dark luxury / strong visuals vs urban aesthetic.
A few days ago, they launched the website and released the first collection.
"The idea behind this 1st collection was to play around the new urban explorer, where clothes are becoming a kind of costume / armour and draw a parallel with Samurai Warriors. 'Black Rain is the Samurai 2.0, when the warrior drops the Japanese sword for an assault rifle in response to the violence of our modern society'."
- Xavier (owner of the brand)
I think that most times, 'urban' and 'elegance' combined together can be much pretentious. This campaign managed to present the street and luxury infusion in high quality and without any pretense.
