Poseur, the rebellious heartbeat of Los Angeles fashion, is not just a brand – it's an insurgency against the ordinary. Born from the gritty soul of Southern California's sub-culture, Poseur thrives on the raw energy of surf, skate, and punk, forging a path of unapologetic expression.In the concrete jungle where conformity fades away, Poseur emerges as a fierce artistic force. Every garment is a canvas, a rebellion painted with hand-crafted ink on fabrics woven from the threads of American defiance. Dominique Collin, the fearless visionary behind the brand, breathes life into collections that echo her daily existence and the untamed history of her urban sanctuary. Eco-conscious materials aren't just a choice; they're a statement. Poseur doesn't follow trends; it sets them ablaze. The prints, born in the heart of LA, carry the echoes of street art, screaming tales of rebellion and echoing the rhythm of sub-culture beats.
BEHIND THE SEAMS
In the shadow of Brussels' historic architecture, I emerged, a product of a cultural mosaic that sparked my rebellious spirit. My early years, steeped in the avant-garde tapestry of Europe, ignited an unquenchable thirst for aesthetics and an irreverent curiosity about the world beyond
Africa, a pivotal chapter in my youth, introduced me to diverse cultures and ever-changing landscapes. It was here that the taste for exploration and a nomadic spirit took root, setting the stage for a life fueled by wanderlust and a disdain for conformity
Fashion school in Brussels was my first step into the realm of creativity, but it was the magnetic pull of Los Angeles in my early twenties that felt like destiny – a place where the unconventional found its haven, and I discovered a sense of belonging that echoed like a rebellious anthem.
Two decades in the fashion industry, a journey marked by the relentless pursuit of innovation, led me back to the City of Angels. As an immigrant navigating the intricate dance of assimilation, I faced the harsh realities of not fitting in. In the depths of those struggles, I found solace in creation, in design – and Poseur was conceived
Poseur, an embodiment of California's subcultures – skate, surf, a love affair with the ocean, and the rebellious beats of punk that had always coursed through my veins. It's not just a brand; it's a rebellion against the ordinary, a testament to my refusal to be another cog in the machine of conformity.
I refuse to succumb to the allure of cheap, mass-produced fashion from distant shores. Poseur is my declaration, a manifesto of values etched in every stitch – organic, recycled, and proudly made in the USA. It's not just a brand; it's a commitment to community, a pledge to stand against the tide of soulless consumerism.
So here I am, defying the odds, crafting a narrative that echoes the rebellion within. Poseur: where design meets defiance, and fashion becomes a canvas for authenticity. Unveiling Poseur – because conformity was never my style.
