SPRING SUMMER 2019 • “What’s Missing”

​

All too often, we separate our emotions from our behaviour however this has a profound effect over how apathy creeps into our lives - it can slowly evolve into a visceral feeling of unidentifiable absence. The desire to feel more or less can be an overwhelming experience. We feel this void through tension, thickened air, alienation, silence, white noise and tantric boredom. This is a consequence of a desire to feel something that isn’t palatable; this is an absence of sensitivity. Do you let sensitivity flourish through your nerve endings, allowing its journey to enter into that uncertain place of vulnerability? Or does that scare you? Do you want to block it out? Is it missing? Our emotions are what make us human. Danshan believe a sensitive body absorbs both the painful and enjoyable aspects of the human experience. There is no joy without pain and without pain there is no joy. Sensitivity is there to serve us. Therefore for Danshan’s Spring Summer 2019 collection they will progress with their path into exploring the undervalued nuances of modern male life. Vulnerability will not be missing in their new designs but instead will be treated as essential to living an authentic life. This collection is about celebrating the freedom that sensitivity can enable for men. - To reclaim it.
