The NIGHTHAWKS Autumn/Winter 2024 collection by 032c Readyto-wear marks a departure from conventional fashion trends. Inspired by the enigmatic and timeless works of painters Edward Hopper and Victor Man, NIGHTHAWKS embraces an urban realism that knows no specific era. This collection is set to defy the concept of “Zeitgeist,” refusing to engage with present fashion or anticipate the near future. Instead, it offers an ahistorical take on timelessness. NIGHTHAWKS presents a city “uniform” that is as versatile as it is enigmatic, designed to be worn not just for a season but as a reflection of the city and the individual.
In terms of its color palette, NIGHTHAWKS opts for subtlety and moodiness. The collection’s hues are described as being tenderly caressed by soot, avoiding bright or pure colors. The garments appear as if seen through a street-level fog, with every surface veiled yet every outline sharp. This muted and almost monochromatic approach to color allows NIGHTHAWKS to create a unique aesthetic that stands in stark contrast to the vibrant and often flashy fashion of today. The result is a collection that emanates a sense of urban mystery and timelessness.
NIGHTHAWKS is not only about aesthetics but also about functionality and versatility. It offers a transition from day to night, dwelling on the idea of a city that never sleeps. The collection features slim-cut silhouettes that seem to glow through the urban vapor like icons. It incorporates various materials, from cotton and knit layers to outerwear like parkas and leather coats, designed to soften harsh urban realities and strengthen fragile ones.
