New York Fashion Week | A--Company SUMMER SPRING 2022
In [**A--Company'**](https://www.a--company.com/)s Summer Spring 2022 collection, designer Sara Lopez takes a the t-shirt - typically understood as a casual garment, and deconstructs and reformats the piece throughout the collection. Examining the archetypal garment of the modern wardrobe, this collection includes the history of the graphic t-shirt, underlining the urgency of the item when providing a physical reminder of and call to action for the mobilization of individuals to bring about powerful changes in policy. “Every style should be exciting in its approach to construction, challenging to both me and my collaborators, and wearable in a novel way,” Lopez said of how she knows when a piece should make its way into the final edit of garments each season. Including graphic t-shirts in the collection opens the larger dialogue that A--Company intends to participate in: the conversations of sustainability, gender, the body and its performance of self, socioeconomics, and the purpose of design.
