TGF designer Reino explains the inspiration behind the Lock Down collection. “Finding inspiration everywhere, I have always been obsessed with the architectural and heavy industry, I find it calming as I understand the process but the scale is so monumental it gives me a feeling of insignificance and fragility.

“With the Lock Down collection I have sought to take ownership of the monumental and bring it to a human wearable scale hopefully transferring some power to the owner. It is no coincidence that chain has been a symbolism of oppression, but by taking ownership many subcultures have upended this connotation to quite the reverse by adorning their necks, wrists, and clothing as middle finger salute to oppressors, reclaiming it as the ultimate projection of freedom.”
