LA MASKARADE, the label from London-based designer Max Danet, is a playful and gender-fluid clothing brand that thrives on exposing contradictions and challenging the sacred. For LA MASKARADE, prints are its "only religion," serving as the essential canvas for expressing opinions and showcasing Danet's unique images and messages. Drawing eclectic inspiration from the unlikely muse of Thailand's crop-top-clad King Maha Vajiralongkorn to the vibrant energies of club culture and the evolving rap scene, the brand crafts unisex ready-to-wear pieces that often appear intentionally "fished out of a bin." This aesthetic is embodied in spray-painted tourist trash motifs, t-shirts emblazoned with spam social media posts, and trompe l’oeil tears, all contributing to a signature crafty, statement-making visual language that uses fashion to provoke, question, and highlight paradoxes through opposing forces.
