Stitching Modern Identity: The 'Out of Office' Tapestry of Freedom
It all begins with an idea.
The 'Out of Office' collection by Super Extra Regular, conceived by the visionary Nivek Samoht, is a sartorial ode to the duality of modern life, where the rigid structures of work meet the fluidity of free time. Informed by his formative experiences working under David Mullen in SoHo and his interdisciplinary studies at Parsons School of Design, Samoht crafts fashion that transcends mere clothing. It's an all-encompassing way of life that echoes through the furniture we choose, the architecture of our homes, the cars we drive, and the music that moves us.
Samoht, who began as a quiet observer in fashion, translates his contemplative nature into the 'Out of Office' narrative. This collection is his manifesto of freedom—a departure from labor's chains and a celebration of leisure's rich complexities. His designs are more than garments; they are the tangible annotations of the individual's journey, embracing the nuances of their environment and persona.
Within 'Out of Office,' Samoht chronicles his evolution from early sketches to the synergy of fashion and art that New York embodies. Each design in the collection reflects the intricate journey towards a unique brand identity, marrying the personal touch of the artisan with the universality of their expression.
Every piece is a tactile testament to Samoht's belief that fashion mirrors all aspects of existence. This collection invites wearers to savor the art of relaxation and the essence of downtime, fostering a dialogue between the comfort of the known and the thrill of the unknown. It is an homage to those precious intervals of escape from the office, the pauses that kindle creativity and introspection.
More than a collection, 'Out of Office' is a curated life experience. It vibrates with Super Extra Regular's ethos of dialogue between the mundane and the marvelous, paying homage to the holistic nature of fashion as a life experience, akin to the artistry that ignited Samoht's initial passion for the craft.
Super Extra Regular’s collection is a call to the thoughtful, the creatives, and the dreamers. It's for those who see every choice as an integral piece of their life's mosaic, each item a vibrant stitch in their tapestry. This collection is for those who revel in the complexities of leisure, for whom freedom from labor is not mere respite but a canvas for living, being, and becoming.
The collection officially releases on May 31st, 2024. View the full look book here.
