Figs : Custom Bow Ties

 

For every FIGS tie or bow tie you buy, a uniform is given to a child in order for them to attend school. We will start in Eastern Africa, specifically in 105 schools within Kenya and Tanzania. We hope to soon provide uniforms to children all across the world so that they can get the education they so rightly deserve, one tie at a time.

“The Youth Spirit” is presented as a fashion film for the March/April 2010 issue of 160G magazine, with a title and credits that call out director Jamie Luca and model Pavel Pisotski . Set to The xx’s atmospheric 2009 instrumental “Intro” , the short follows Pisotski through moody urban and studio settings while he models an eclectic mix of labels ranging from avant‑garde names like Daniel Palillo, Romain Kremer and Rick Owens to mass‑market staples such as H&M and Topman. The music, taken from The xx’s debut album “xx,” builds slowly and releases tension , mirroring the film’s contemplative pacing. While this blend of high fashion and streetwear underscores the theme of rebellious youth, the scattershot wardrobe risks diluting the film’s identity and the reliance on a well‑known track could make the piece feel dated. Choosing a less ubiquitous soundtrack and curating a more cohesive selection of designers would strengthen the narrative and make the piece stand out. As it stands, the film serves as both a lookbook and an art piece, but it leans heavily on trend cues rather than offering a distinct point of view.
