Press Start is a womenswear clothing line that exudes a young and powerful energy, with references to the Y2K era of fashion and culture. The brand aims to give a fun and modern take on the early era of "modern culture" that is celebrities, TV shows, video games, and more that comes from the era.
Inspiration for the brand comes from beyond just fashion looks of the era, but takes elements from cartoon series of the era, such as Winx Club, Totally Spies, Danny Phantom, the Bratz series and video games, as well as other forms of pop culture such as video games, TV shows, music and band groups, media icons such as Paris Hilton, and lifestyle elements present in the era.
Without relying too much on a single aesthetic, therefore not limiting growth as well as so that the brand would not be defied to o tightly on a single style and look, Press Start takes their main direction by combining elements from both the Y2K era which serves as the main source of inspiration, as well as current fashion trends to create a unique look for their first debut collection. Elements such as silhouettes, colour palettes, cuts, lengths, fabrics choices, styling and hardwares have been researched thoroughly to give a taste of the Y2K inspiration while at the same time not feeling too outdated or throwback-like.
