UNGATEKEEPING DESIGNERS: THE ANTONY RIDDLE FASHION EXPERIMENT

UNGATEKEEPING DESIGNERS: THE ANTONY RIDDLE FASHION EXPERIMENT

Antony Riddle is an avant-garde designer from New Jersey whose work is capturing attention for its bold, alien-like silhouettes and unconventional use of materials. Believing that fashion is art experienced daily, outside gallery walls, Riddle's creations offer subtle political commentaries, reflecting his desire to share complex thoughts. Drawing inspiration from his surroundings and personal experiences, he transforms everyday items like plastic bags and Ziploc zippers into statement pieces, giving familiar materials a futuristic twist. 


Emphasizing dual functionality and simplifying clothing, Riddle creates designs that are not only visually striking but also practical for daily use, blending form and function seamlessly. His purpose is to make things that benefit the world and enhance everyday function, like the dual bulletproof vest/bag and garments that can turn into pants or vice versa.


Riddle's influence has extended beyond the underground fashion scene, with his one-of-one garments selling for $4,000+ through various platforms. His work has caught the eye of celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kanye West, and Young Thug. Riddle's ability to create statement pieces that resonate with both high fashion and streetwear culture has solidified his position as a rising talent in the industry.


In the underground music scene, Riddle has worked with rising stars, including Yeat, Dom Corleo, Lil Tecca, Baby Santana, Joeyy, Xaviersobased, and producers like Bnyx and Gab3. Nettspend, another rising star, was spotted wearing Riddle's hat. These artists wear his designs, which align perfectly with the edgy, futuristic sound of today's underground rap scene. As Riddle pushes fashion's boundaries, he is poised to become a leading figure in avant-garde design, creating pieces that challenge the status quo and enhance everyday life.


Antony Riddle plans to release his first collection in late 2025, the first time the public can purchase his work. Shop select Antony Riddle pieces on the [Lowheads] marketplace.
