Unlike young&restless’ signature line which explores experimental designs, character dressing, contemporary style and conceptual storyboard each season, the diffusion line allows Ashburn to strike a fair balance between market demand and his design aesthetics.
The garments focus on effortlessly refined designs, at affordable pricing pared back to mass appeal based on a sleek laidback approach of infusing classic designs and simple everyday basics with an urban edge. The garments are modestly priced from SGD19.90 onwards.
The main theme for ‘Untitled 003’ by young&restless plays on the contrast between natural fibre and urban materials designed for tropical dressing. It is built upon both the fluidity of modal jersey fabric and silhouette, while still maintaining the sharp forms and minimalist aesthetic that young&restless is known for. The collection is mainly made up of relaxed-fit designs that cocoon comfortably around the body with little trim or embellishment. Stylistic pleating and dramatic drapes were also employed to compensate for a deliberate eschewing of surface interest.
