DEMO, the Hong Kong-headquartered luxury fashion brand, has avowedly set out to redefine both masculinity and femininity by defiantly dodging stereotypical gender labels in its SS21 Collection. With an array of bedazzling handmade crystal and gem embellishments, detailed embroidery and a fresh new texture, with the latter cunningly delivered by interlacing tweed, the brand’s signature element, with leno-fabric, this ’80s-inspired ensemble showcases soft but edgy bedazzling statement pieces that boldly encapsulate soft masculinity and creative self-expression.
