Chromat Autumn/Winter 2018 is about trying to find joy and escape within the spiral.
Inspired by summer kayaking trips and personal watercrafts, we imagine wearing the collection while eating flaming hot cheetos on a boat in the Hudson. We are fitted with bungees, packing for a quick getaway.

We have collaborated with poet Jahmal B. Golden on a poem entitled “Lick Your Lips Sis” inspired by the spirit of AW18. (Read the full poem here.) One section of the poem that really speaks to me is the power of asking for what you want. One positive outcome of this new awakening- as we elevate marginalized voices and bring more seats to the table- is finally having a voice to ask for what you want. Whether that's a salary that matches a white male coworker, or safety in the workplace, or to have your boundaries respected in your private life, telling people what you want is powerful.
