In late 2014, the clothing label Public School ran the New York fashion scene. Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne, the brand’s designers, had introduced their first women’s collection a season earlier, had won the coveted $300,000 Fashion Fund prize from Vogue and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and had been adopted as the uniform of choice for budding fashion icons like Kendrick Lamar and Victor Cruz. When it came time to present their spring 2015 collection during Fashion Week, expectations were high—and so they called their friends at Snarkitecture (who will also design an exclusive installation at ComplexCon this November).
