At Matthew Miller the slogan “Born To Fail” was displayed throughout the collection referencing anarchy and the disillusionment of generation Y. “My generation has been brought up in a world where we are born to fail. I think as soon as you can accept your future, you can change it ” stated Miller. ”I have taken back the uniforms that generation X inherited and just re-appropriated them for our generation.
Opening the show a model sported a trench coat over a sweatshirt with the words “Born To Fail” printed in red scarlet letters over a pair of slim cuffed trousers and combat boots with red stitching. His palette consisted of mostly stark black fabrics punched with red stripe details on jackets and bags as a strong visual cue of rebellion. His razor sharp collection was both functional and modern fusing sportswear with impeccable tailoring that has a casual ease. Just the kind of clothes that young men want to wear today. The voice of a new generation has reared it’s head on the runway at Matthew Miller.
