FLUX WITH FLUXUS

There is something rather dreamy created within the clothes of LA based label Fluxus. My mind immediately drifts away to a world where fabric is as soft and soothing as a billowy cloud, and hints of delicate colour seep through, as one might imagine the pitter-patter of rain falling.

With their use of avant-garde cuts, beautiful cotton jersey and the now signature Fluxus burnout effect, it’s not surprising to see celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson and Rihanna flaunting their Fluxus love affair.

Fluxus simply evokes a sense of freedom, instils a connection to art and leaves you feeling comfortable and stylish.
