Charlee Lambert

This collection, titled Scarlet Vanguard honors those who fought for liberation throughout history. By referencing historical silhouettes, this collection alludes to a time before ours. Techniques such as paning and chainmail pay homage to those who fought the battle to be seen.

Heavy weight fabric, dazzling embellishment, and personalized embroidery paint this collection as a spectacle within itself, for both the wearer and observer.

Using bold primary colors, juxtaposed with darker moody tones, allow the collection to remain whimsical and vibrant, while also executing the themes of tragic theatre and the throes of battle.

This collection serves to honor the vanguards of the past, dress the vanguards of the present and inspire the vanguards of the future.

We rise at dawn

Donned in color, courage, and costume

Draped in drama, sculpted in armor, embellished in opulence

Marching in garments shaped by hands long gone

Each piece a performance, a relic, a revolution 

This collection fuses historical-wear with theatrical flair,

calling forward the soldiers among us

Colors bold as banners.

Lines sharp as commands

Silhouettes steeped in spectacle

Let performance be your protection

Let your presence be your rebellion

Dress like a declaration
