Trashy Clothing and Barragán have joined forces for a bold winter collection, Arsenal of Democracy, blending fashion with subversive commentary. Shot in Jordan with close friends of the brand, the campaign reimagines American wartime propaganda to critique cultural imperialism, exploring themes of psyops and fashion’s role in power structures.
Designed by Omar Braika, Shukri Lawrence, and Victor Barragán, the collection features six pieces—two wrap skirts, a dress, a wrap top, and two T-shirts—that fuse the brands’ styles with sharp social critiques. The designs reflect Trashy Clothing’s Palestinian roots and Barragán’s Mexican heritage, confronting imperialism from both perspectives.
“This collaboration started after a tweet dissected our takes on American imperialism,” said Trashy Clothing’s team. “When we announced it, the community immediately said, ‘Of course!’ Our shared vision of fashion as resistance made this collection feel inevitable.”
Accompanied by exclusive tracks from Adam Rajab, the campaign amplifies its satirical tone and political edge, immersing viewers in the chaotic world the brands have created.
Pre-orders for ”Arsenal of Democracy” are now open on Trashy Clothing’s official website.
