END. Debut: 1017 ALYX 9SM - Now online
25 April 2019Matthew M. Williams presents his much-loved brand to END.
Spearheading a revolution within the streetwear sphere over a decade ago with his Been Trill collective alongside contemporaries Virgil Abloh and Heron Preston, Matthew M. Williams' 1017 ALYX 9SM imprint makes it debut at END. for the Autumn/Winter 2018 season.
Starting life as a womenswear brand in 2015, Williams migrated his progressive vision to a plethora of menswear silhouettes for the SS17 season, continually developing his distinct aesthetic of subversive, unapologetic essentials season-upon-season, to create into one of fashion's most coveted labels.
Williams' debut collection at END. sees the brand go from strength-to-strength. Monotone graphics sit seamlessly next to unassuming, considered branding on a range of wardrobe classics that have been designed for immediate impact.
Nothing typifies this arresting ethos more so than the collaborative effort with Alpha Industries, which reworks the brand's iconic bomber jacket for a contemporary fit and treats it to some unabashed distressing to give war-torn feel, while the back panel graphic is a masterclass in streetwear design.
1017 ALYX 9SM is now online at END.
