B.A.S.E.C. “Seen Unseen”
To coincide with the "Tavares Strachan: There Is Light Somewhere" exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London, Dover Street Market has exclusively launched Strachan's brand B.A.S.E.C. in store with a series of special displays. Also available on the DSML E-SHOP.
B.A.S.E.C., stands for The Bahamas Aerospace and Sea Exploration Center. As both a trained astronaut and artist, Strachan delves into his fascination with human exploration through this collection. The inspiration began five years ago with the creation of the B.A.S.E.C. bomber jacket, which he designed in collaboration with his mother, Ella Strachan.
From B.A.S.E.C.'s ready-made boots, to custom fighter pilot suits, this limited edition collection aims to bridge the gap between art, humanity, and radical allegories. According to Strachan, the goal is to challenge the conventional roles of clothing. Each garment encapsulates a living blend of community, science, history, and exploration.
Strachan’s Dover Street Market special displays merge conceptual rigor with a passion for materials. "B.A.S.E.C. became a way for me to engage with a different audience—people who want to bring stories to life."
