Farfetch and Byronesque re-issue Vexed Generation

Farfetch has joined forces with Byronesque, the authority in
contemporary-vintage fashion, to re-issue an 11-piece menswear collection
from Vexed Generation, designed by Adam Thorpe and Joe Hunter.

The label from the ‘90s became known for activism through fashion and
was inspired by distrust of the state with Thorpe and Hunter designing
garments to allow people to voice their concerns, provoke debate and
provide utility to address their effects.

Byronesque has worked closely with Vexed Generation to create the
capsule collection of pieces that are replicas of the originals, which
includes the ‘Ninja Hood’ that both masks the wearer’s identity from
unregulated CCTV cameras and can be fitted with a filter to clean urban air
and the ‘Vexed Parka’ that parodies police riot gear.

Giorgio Belloli, chief commercial and sustainability officer at Farfetch
said in a statement: “We are thrilled to launch this collection in
collaboration with Byronesque. They have worked closely with Vexed
Generation to ensure that this capsule remains true to the original
designs, resulting in a collection that we are sure will resonate with our
global customers.”

Gill Linton, chief executive and editor-in-chief at Byronesque added:
“Farfetch is unique in that they provide an influential global platform for
Vexed Generation to share their social commentary and reignite today’s
vexed generation at a time when it matters most. While at the same time,
supporting independent thought and creativity.”

Vexed Generation will launch globally exclusively on Farfetch.com.
