Inside S.R. Studio L.A C.A.'s new Insect Index capsule collection.
Sterling Ruby’s mark on fashion has always been eerily prescient. His 2014 collaboration with Raf Simons predated the collage and graphic moment in menswear, his hanging axes and pom-poms at Calvin Klein around 2016 spoke to the growing darkness bubbling under our American idealism, and his earliest collections for his own label S.R. Studio L.A. C.A. have explored haunting and political themes.
“This capsule collection has been in progress for a couple of years, really,” Ruby said. “This has been like sitting on our board for quite a while.” National Audubon Society books of insects and arachnids, those small pamphlets used by outdoorspeople to distinguish friend from foe in nature, had been floating in Ruby’s mind, and now the time felt right to release his vision to the world. “There’s all this iconography and symbology within it.
Ruby’s art truly is everywhere—as this collection releases he’s also packing up a gallery show to be shipped to Rome. But he doesn’t operate in the macho way of some other white male art guys; he has a humble touch. Despite the affinity for graphic statements, Ruby’s garments consider the wearer. In this capsule, denim is washed using a custom method that rinses the inside more than the outside of the fabric; Ruby describes its interior pallor as akin to a shroud.
