Royal Dissension is a bespoke designer seeking to reclaim the importance and power of costume. Until recent history, costume has been revered and at times considered sacred. In our past, costume was both used and seen as a powerful form of communication. Royal Dissension would see the art of costume revived in the modern world of fashion.
Due to its roots in fashion and functionality, costume is instinctively understood by all regardless of voluntary participation or proclaimed non-participation. Costume is a pure form of human communication not restricted by our basic differences of language, belief or even culture. In all places of the world, whether through accessory, law or ritual, it is also a mandatory form of communication.
Royal Dissension knows that this universal language is easy to manipulate and under the correct manipulator it can be used to construct bridges of understanding, restoring balance to an unjust world.
Specifically, Royal Dissension believes an individual’s personal connection to social issues is the most effective way to harbor change. Therefore, Royal Dissension uses powerful symbols from ancient cultures, minorities and religions to communicate on an instinctive and personalized level.
Through personal and personified connection, each collection of Royal Dissension hopes to educate and empower people to create change and welcome in new perspectives.
