Invoking an anthropological
spirit and aesthetic, New York-based designer Jona transcends the landscape of
couture through his avant-garde label, InAisce.
Imbued in signature hues of nuanced greys and arctic neutrals, InAisce aims to
illustrate the ephemeral flux of nature and self in collections infused with a
folkloric blend of tribal nomad and stoic sentinel.
InAisce began as a men's
collection in 2009, emerging from Jona's desire to construct clothes for
himself. The line's sinuous draping and streamlined silhouettes, however,
effortlessly melded into androgynous geometry, garnishing a unisex following
and establishing InAisce as a transcendent force. Blurring the lines between
sartorial ingenuity and mythical intrigue, InAisce explores
"homelessness" as a transient quest in search of one's origins with
"Seeking Aether," the brand's upcoming Fall/Winter 2013/14
collection, comprised of collaborations with artisan Jason Ross of Artemas
Quibble and shoe designer, Alessio Zero. Reflecting the ethos of the collection
is South Sudanese refugee-cum-model Ger Duany, whose own epic journey makes him
a natural fit. Read the rest of the interview on CoolHunting here.
