Last night (September 7) artist and designer Heron Preston debuted his partnership with the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) for his latest fashion collaboration, “UNIFORM”, a collection series of DSNY merchandise and workwear essentials. Using up-cycled clothing and archived DSNY uniforms, Preston gives a revived meaning to the DSNY logo in a new powerful context. According to Vogue.com, the sight of a plastic bag in the ocean in Ibiza led Preston to contact the City’s Sanitation Department in hopes of inciting more environmental consciousness of keeping the city clean through a collaborative process.
Guests that attended Preston’s unveiling of “UNIFORM” included Chloe Norgaard, Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of Public School, Lucien Smith, Luka Sabbat, A$AP Ferg, Dev Hynes, Lucas and Jillian of Lion Babe, Jessica Lownes, and Waris Ahluwalia among others.
