BLOG: Fall '20 "Deep State" Collection

QILO Fall '20 "Deep State" Collection is a colorful, subversive collection that features Secret Government Programs, MicroChips, Police State Imagery, and Reptilian Shapeshifters.

V2 Rocket Tee and Crewneck:

Operation Paperclip was a post-WWII secret U.S. government program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians, such as Wernher von Braun and his V-2 rocket team, were taken from Germany to the United States, for U.S. government employment, primarily between 1945 and 1959.

The primary purpose for Operation Paperclip was U.S. military advantage in the Soviet–American Cold War, and the Space Race. Many of the recruited German scientists were members and leaders of Nazi party - their records scrubbed clean in order to integrate them into the U.S. Space and Arms programs.

Reptilian Concept:

One of the more colorful theories out there - the idea that many powerful world political leaders and business people are in fact Reptilian shape-shifting aliens.

The back of this piece features puppets pulled by strings - a metaphor that is left up the interpretation of the wearer.

Deep State Enforcer Concept:

An Orwellian conceptualization of the police state. The faceless enforcement arm of the powers that be.

Surveillance Hoodie:

Life as we know it continues to become more digitized and less private.

This piece features a surveillance room on the front and a microchip on the back - a reminder that more tech isn't always our friend.

Glockbuster Concept:

90s Nostalgia is incomplete without the remembrance of Blockbuster. This concept merges Blockbuster with Glocks.

MicroSuede Hoodie & Coach Jacket:

Our classic MicroSuede pieces are back. We release the MicroSuede every Autumn/Winter season in different colorways. This season's color is "Iron"
