The Toybox by Nia Hargrove
"The Toybox” is a spring/summer womenswear collection that pulls from rave culture, specifically the Kandi kid subculture. Beaded trinkets are at the heart of Kandi kid culture and childish and playful aesthetics are incorporated as well. By taking new and old rave fashion silhouettes and incorporating the fun of the Kandi kid, “The Toybox” aims to give statement pieces to the plus size maximalist consumer, as well as expose audiences to an underground subculture where unity is at the forefront.
