X-Stock is a concept for a line of clothing that uses the “deadstock” or “new old stock” of a Fifth Avenue luxury Chinese clothing brand.

New but old, beautiful but hidden, these stockpiled clothes sit, wait and accumulate. While the deadstock problem is symptomatic of the retail industry as a whole, for a luxury brand the usual solution of a sale, or deep discount runs counter to its exclusivity. The clothes are consequently locked up.

Shirt: Hood

Hood involves an add-on procedure that takes a dressy shirt and adds a vinyl, waterproof reflective hoodie. The delicate silk shirt gains weather based performance, previously associated with action gear. The hoodie responds to growing use of the bicycle under any circumstance, as a means of mobility.

Materials: silk, vinyl, reflective strip

Shirt: East / West Shirt: West / East

EW/WE is a cultural and physical exchange, transplanting the formally distinct manifestations of the everyday shirt — with their collars and corresponding button or silk knot stands — from one into the other. Two new and typologically distinct collars emerge.

Materials: silk, cotton

Shirt: Utility Shirt

Utility steals its many pockets from the Inside Out jacket

Shirt: Jersey

Jersey highlights the latent character that the original shirt embodied. Its jersey-like qualities of two-tone fabric with distinct collar and cuffs are aggregated with Nike

Jacket: Inside Out (and Back in)

Inside Out exposes the jacket

Long Coat: Dressed to Kill

Dressed to Kill hybridizes an adventure inspired leisure shirt/jacket and a raincoat. The Muji Freecut, Unisex Raincoat heightens the shirt

Face Gear

Face Gear is a series of sunglasses that hybridize facemasks, security glasses, and sunglasses. They offer maximum protection for the eyes, but also protect portions of the face.
