CLARK SABBAT: FASHION IN FLUX
The fashion conversation can be characterized by a few phrases: Stockholm Syndrome in style, the new SoHo and the influence of Instagram in fashion, the 2024 uniform of Gen Z, and the creation of design from a narrative or aesthetic perspective. Never has the idea of how and what we get dressed in become such a culturally and technologically engaged, responsive, and reflective opportunity within our charged and chaotic world. With designer Clark Sabbat, I explore his à la carte responses from a technologically advanced and intergenerationally cultured progress of clothing and dressing for purpose and identity. Sabbat possesses an interesting take on the certain place of fashion within the culture—creative and intimate—and alludes to his youth from a time of risk and nuance to now a time where things trend and nuance is often conformity in disguise. Clark Sabbat is a fashion force through evolution, mastery, and challenges faced and overcome. He battled the challenges of an entrepreneurial spirit that was ever in tune with its fashionable essence. He learned how to overcome the sometimes juvenile impulses of the fashion world and transformed who he is as a designer and teacher. Sabbat's work comes from an insider's perspective of the process. Sabbat has a unique perspective on design and how he evolves with it.
