• A collection born from isolation, transformation, and defiance. Softening the Edges by SKNDLSS explores the tension between strength and vulnerability through chains, armor, and fluid silhouettes. Designed by Sustilé Blank, a Detroit-based queer fashion designer and artist, this collection merges underground aesthetics with high fashion craftsmanship — reimagining protection as beauty. Each look blurs gender, power, and fantasy. Chains become fabric. Armor becomes softness. This is not performance — it’s survival styled with intention. Created during Blank’s MFA thesis at Parsons School of Design, Softening the Edges reflects a journey of loneliness, resilience, and rebirth. Inspired by early 2000s antiheroes like Buffy, Blade, and the subversive allure of nightlife, SKNDLSS builds a new mythology of queer strength in a world that demands definition. Photographed in Detroit and New York, the lookbook unveils iridescent textures, sculptural metalwork, and sensual, androgynous silhouettes — pieces that move between protection and exposure.
