Casper Naafs

SuperMen, SwagKnights, Young Boy Prince

Casper Naafs is a fashion designer exploring themes of childhood, manhood, and superheroes. He looks at fashion through streetwear and finds inspiration in everything around him. Naafs reuses and remixes existing materials, ideas, and references to create unique designs. Working quickly and intuitively, he approaches garments almost as a form of sketching, experimenting with recognisable styles, dress types, and references from different eras.

‘SuperMen, SwagKnights, Young Boy Prince’ tells the story of a boy growing up through clothes, passing through different stages of finding his own style, from awkwardness to confidence. As he explores stereotypical fashion styles and different ways of dressing, the young boy learns to find
 a way to express himself authentically. The collection brings together playful and recognisable fashion references, combining different silhouettes, styles and eras into unexpected looks.
