STREETLIGHTS

2022 - INVITED TO THE COOKOUT


Debuted at New York Fashion Week, marking a transformative moment with the introduction of the brand’s first-ever womenswear line. Inspired by designer Chelsea Grays’ childhood memories in Cleveland, the collection symbolized the comfort of home and the power of community, blending deeply personal storytelling with bold, utilitarian design. Using sustainable fabrics, intricate detailing, and a socially charged narrative, the collection redefined luxury streetwear as a beacon of connection, resilience, and self-expression.

INVITED TO THE COOKOUT

The Cookout. This collection explores the identity of Blackness through cookouts. Cookouts, in particular, are symbolic because it brings togetherness. While the future is unclear and unprecedented, there is still hope that racial injustice will dissipate and unity can be created. By the use of warped screen print and textiles such as linen and tapestry, the brand conveys a euphoria that brings hope for better days to come.

FASHION IS OVERSATURATED

Homage to 2020. The collection is referencing, police brutality, protesting, coronavirus, voting issues, and other issues that took place around the world. Casting light on those issues by using images from older eras as inspiration to reference what took place in 2020.

ORGANIZED CHAOS

Organized Chaos Collection combines bold creativity with social awareness, drawing inspiration from the challenges of homelessness in San Francisco and the artistry of Basquiat. Known for its unisex designs, the brand features handcrafted textures, mix-and-match prints, and innovative silhouettes that challenge conventions while telling powerful stories of resilience and community.

FASHION IS OVERSATURATED

The 2020 collection, Fashion is Oversaturated, is inspired by a comprehensive series of super composition paintings created by Chelsea as a self-expression of the world around us. The looks are developed from recycled fabric, upcycled garments, and repurposed materials( i.e. bath rugs, bed cover, etc.) crafty with a bit of detail. Using powerful saturated colors and yarn fabric manipulation to create depth and texture.
