EVERYDAY MILITIA is a menswear project exploring masculinity under pressure. It examines the quiet conflict between ego, vulnerability, and performative strength in contemporary society. The collection presents its pieces as everyday armor – designed for men navigating constant judgment, social expectation, and digital visibility. Fragility is treated not as weakness, but as a form of control and self expression and self – awareness. The project responds to the tension between “alpha” masculinity and fashion often labelled as feminine, challenging rigid ideas of manliness shapes by social media. Cultural pressure, and performative confidence. Negative body language, insecurity, and emotional suppression become a part of the design language and process details.
