Spencer Phipps’s home turf is Americana by way of Paris. Two-and-a-half years in, the designer’s not only gotten comfortable enough with his adopted city and language, he’s decided to go auteur filmmaker for spring.
This flick isn’t a feature ; it’s more like a trailer for a faux Hollywood production entitled “Spirit of Freedom”—and it’s gunning for glory. Brando/Dean types, grab your hat. Iconographic touch points include a cactus camouflage, a Joshua Tree, mesa knits, and a pastiche of potentially lethal desert critters—coyote, rattlesnake, scorpion, etc., worked in collaboration with illustrator Gordon Flores.
Back in his comfort zone—the one Phipps calls “the building blocks of American style”—there are plenty of pieces to keep his customers happy. Those include T-shirts emblazoned “E Pluribus Phipps” with a stylized eagle, borrowings from Elvis featuring the same totem and a “This Land Is Your Land” flag T-shirt.
Giving old things new life is a Phipps signature, so revisited vintage finds like a black fringed jacket, a Harley Davidson shirt, and letter jackets all mixed with sweats, tailored shorts, and even jeans with a chaps treatment. “What’s happening [in the world] now has solidified what we do in a really nice way,” the designer offered on the topic of upcycling. Still to come is a bigger push into women’s sometime next year.
