ASSERTION Insistent and positive affirming, maintaining, or defending as of a right or attribute:
Menswear designer Kenneth Nicholson based his spring 2019 “Lover From the Bath” collection on a story he wrote about lost love in three chapters devoted to sadness, memory, and grief. The collection combined decorative flourishes, including lace collars and gold brooches with the strictness of naval uniforms. This tunic of white cotton gauze, printed with a love letter reading…, reflects Nicholson’s aim to challenge gender signifiers in fashion and expand the boundaries of menswear.
