The 032c Apparel “LoveSexDreams" Collection

This is a reclamation of minimalism. We’re bringing it down from the heights of modernism and spiking it, spliffing it, taking it out of class and redefining it for its natural habitat: brutal reality. Truant minimalism is not slick, scholarly, linear, or monochrome, but direct, exposed, unpredictable, unprocessed. It exists outside of narrative continuity, graphic purity, and anything institutional, and we like it that way because that’s where potential and promise live, too. Truant minimalism can get weird and abrasive, and yes, it’s probably flirting with you. It's better unplanned and best if you get caught. Why drop out when you can ditch?

The 032c Apparel “LoveSexDreams” collection belongs to 1990s West Coast sprawl and West Berlin's Love Sex Dreams. It's part jock, stoner, sleaze, hacker, tech bro, country club, strip club, dog-punk; it's in a clique, it’s a loner, it’s psychic. It's your everyday sampling of acid washes, waxed fabrics, silk-lined terry cloth, Intarsia knits, embroidery, neoprene, leather, varsity letters, oversized t-shirts, heavyweight workwear blends, denim, thermal waffles, and bouclé. Around truant minimalism, stuff just gets lost, found, and “borrowed” – messed up or exchanged in the spaces between “yours” and “mine,” “out” and “in.” Love, dream, but don't get attached, because nothing is a given and everything is up for grabs.

It is generally accepted that waxed cotton makes for elegant countryside outerwear. The Barbour jacket’s extremely distant, definitely estranged younger cousin – the cargo short – is more controversial. Introduced by the British Armed Forces, the cargo short is now a staple for Silicon Valley bros; wear them for non-practical purposes, and those extra pockets may be the reason you can’t get a date. We can’t resist a polarizing tech topic any more than we can deny our kink for the posh and rainy England of J. Barbour & Sons Ltd – so we combined the two. Our waxy brown pocketed cargo short comes with a bright red embroidered logo on the left side front flap.
