Reception Launches Gambling-Inspired SS22 Collection
Titled “The King Must Die.”
Reception has returned with a Spring/Summer 2022 collection titled “The King Must Die,” drawing inspiration from casinos and the gambling world. The collection was originally influenced by the American gambling world of the 1960s to the 1980s with research into alternative press. This then led to the French casino scene, which is world’s apart from its American counterpart.
The graphics in the collection take aim at the misogyny inherent in this world, with a celebration of the minorities who have fought against the conservatism of the gambling industry. Graphic references include dollar signs constructed from snakes and prison bars, a “don’t tell us the odds” slogan and clover embroidery. Materials used in the collection are produced in Porturgal, with a Japanese cotton linen and swimwear produced from 100% recycled ocean plastic yarns.
The full “The King Must Die” collection is available now from the Reception web store.
