Our Point of View

Purple's Upside Down Shorts reframe denim construction as a design statement — splicing a dark indigo waistband and side panels against a heavily washed, faded centre panel for a trompe-l'œil effect that suggests two garments collapsed into one. The silhouette sits at a relaxed, wide-leg cut that falls just below the knee, finished with a deliberately frayed raw hem that softens the utility edge of the carpenter-pocket detailing below. Built for the collector drawn to conceptual craft, these shorts wear best as the centrepiece of a stripped-back outfit.
