Viviers Motherboard AW/22: A Mode Of Technological Wear Debuts

A collection that proposes matrimony between technology & apparel

Clothing brand — VIVIERS — based in Johannesburg with an ethos of conceptualised pieces and radical fashion handlings, has launched its new MOTHERBOARD 2022 collection.

A collection that proposes matrimony between technology and apparel, in an effort to (re)conceptualise going back to the source, returning to the core of our being.

VIVIERS prides itself on its use of fabric, specifically deadstock fabric. In an attempt to overcome the grubbiness of the fashion world in terms of the creation process, VIVIERS uses old durable, valuable materials that didn’t make the final cut — with materials dating as far back as the 1970s.

The tailors employed at VIVIERS personalise each piece by signing their names to the pieces they create, which speaks to the intentionality and explicitness of the transaction between fashion house and consumer.

The MOTHERBOARD AW2022 collection continues to uphold the brand’s vision by speaking to a form of humanness, even when in reference to technology.

The collection’s enmeshment of various materials constructs a wearable outfit that still prioritises a mode of luxury and futurism. Its use of distinct materials, along with the cables from the motherboards of different technological devices seems to communicate ideas of connectivity.
