“Heavy Burdens is the first physical collection from Designer and Photographer, Dean Stephen Davies.

Combining his unique concept-lead design aesthetic with garments that ultimately defy the need for comfort and ease of movement, Dean Stephen Davies turns pre-conceived notions of every-day attire on their head. Taking inspiration from the ‘female’ life-cycle, he examines crucial stages of a proposed woman’s life line and re-interprets them on the de-masculinised 'male' form, creating a juxtaposition and asexuality between the two predominant genders.
