Info

- Each sweatshirt is unique.
- The fade follows the contours of the natural folds of the sweatshirt, and is the direct result of the amount of sunlight this season.

- The sweatshirts were installed on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 and they will remain in situ until Saturday, September 23, 2023 at sunset.

Location
The Summer 2023 product is both global and explicitly local. The Gildan Crew Neck Sweatshirt was originally manufactured in Nicaragua. Now it's becoming clothing that carries an explicit record of a second environment. Like the metaphor of clothing itself, this record is a second skin consisting of documentation, and poetic data. It's now a process narrative for a product, local to the Catskill Mountains of New York.
Seasonal Fashion
Traditional to the industry, a typical fashion collection will launch months before the season actually begins. A perpetual sense of newness and prophecies of style are cultivated. In the case of B.G. NRG (Summer 2023), the fashion only becomes available after the season has ended. However, the collection is still named after the period of time that generated its condition.
